We have a Canadian hero and Canadian villain all within a week. Let's talk about the hero Kevin Vickers and let the courts decide what to do about Gomeshi and hope they each get their just rewards.
I don't know why but the one about Tim Cook made me laugh out loud, literally. I was scrolling through them and that one caught my eye for some reason. I guess I just can see that happening. Thanks for the laughs this morning. Much needed.

It was a bittersweet couple of weeks for Canada, that's for sure, Shawn.

I'm amazed how the Pope keeps popping up in political cartoons lately. On gays, evolution and other things, he's way out there. I'm a lapsed Catholic but he's really shaking the church up somewhat.

My Back Pages - October

Well, folks, I read seven (count 'em) seven books in October. One I didn't finish but even at that I hit the magic number 50 I estimated for myself by the end of the year.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows...
