My Life on Two Legs: March 2010

My Life on Two Legs. Wherein a sedentary 50-year-old learns to live without a car. Monday, March 29, 2010. Oh, my mother! In response to a previous post. Blogging buddy Cheryl suggested I have a look at ancestry.ca to find out about my ancestors which I have done. It's rather addicting to say the least. Hours slip by as minutes. The names of these grandparents were never spoken in our home. They had both died before I came along so I didn't consider not knowing about them to be unusual. That said, it see...

My Life on Two Legs. Wherein a sedentary 50-year-old learns to live without a car. Friday, February 26, 2010. How to kill a short story. I am pathetically bad at figuring out how to share info using proper technology so am reproducing a recent post by Zachary Petit of Writer's Digest. The link is here. The post is below. Friday, February 26, 2010. 3 ways to kill a short story (plus, write an awesomely bad ending and win a book). Which got me thinking more about endings—what works best, and why? You don't...

My Life on Two Legs: Provincial silliness
http://mylifeontwolegs.blogspot.com/2010/06/provincial-silliness.html
My Life on Two Legs. Wherein a sedentary 50-year-old learns to live without a car. Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Queen Elizabeth is here for an international review of warships resulting in dozens of them being anchored in the harbour. It's so weird seeing all those grey ships just sitting there with smaller boats zipping around between them. The tourists line the roadways and shorelines snapping photos while RCMP guard the bridges, the LG's residence and protect Her Majesty's motorcade. No one gives a damn th...

We could have saved the world, but we were too damned cheap. Laquo; Baby steps. One Blue Marble Redesign. And so it came to pass…. December 28, 2008 by Richard. That Smart like Streetcar and Tempest in a Teapot have had to flee with their domains to a far and distant land in order to avoid the evil King Herod and his minions of shittiness.*. You can find Kristina here. Please look for us in our new homes in Nazare…. er, in some unnamned community where King Herod will never find us! You are commenting us...

My Life on Two Legs. Wherein a sedentary 50-year-old learns to live without a car. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Writers' Trust Awards Announced. And here's another nugget for today. The Writers' Trust Award. Winners were announced yesterday with Annabel Lyon taking the Rogers Writers' Trust Award for Fiction for her book, The Golden Mean. How about buying books for whatever holiday you are celebrating this year? Man Defends What He Supposes the American Constitution to Be. Gotta love The Onion. This.

My Life on Two Legs: December 2009

My Life on Two Legs. Wherein a sedentary 50-year-old learns to live without a car. Thursday, December 31, 2009. The New Year and a Case of the Waffles. Do you make resolutions at the start of the new year? I don't. The sort of resolutions that come to mind at this time of year are of the self-denial sort - quit eating, smoking, drinking, over-spending, etc. In the words of Charlie Brown, or was it Lucy, "Blech! He may be right. Yet, I waffle. I waffle with everything. What sort of job do I want? Consulti...

My Life on Two Legs: I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah!

My Life on Two Legs. Wherein a sedentary 50-year-old learns to live without a car. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah! OK, this isn't about standing but as I was typing "I'm still walking" that Elton John song popped into my head. Anyway, I gotta say that I am pleased with myself today. No, nothing spectacular happened. It's just that I'm trying to continue walking as much as possible rather than being lazy and grabbing the car every time I have to head out. Not to mention - b...

My Life on Two Legs: Slow down you move too fast
http://mylifeontwolegs.blogspot.com/2010/07/slow-down-you-move-too-fast.html
My Life on Two Legs. Wherein a sedentary 50-year-old learns to live without a car. Friday, July 2, 2010. Slow down you move too fast. Gotta make the morning last. Just kicking down the cobblestones. This morning as I was finishing the lengthy process of straightening my hair, I caught part of a CBC interview with Nicholas Carr. He has written a book entitled The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains. There was an interesting post on his blog. Whether it's a sports score, a book I want to get...
