BigBroBoblog: August 2009
http://bigbroboblog.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 10, 2009. Sometimes, not even determination can beat The Big C. Just over a year ago (June 25, 2008) I posted here about my young friend Misha, who had had brain cancer, and refused to let anything get him down. I was amazed and inspired by his spirit and determination. Misha did say that time that he knew he wouldn't live as long as if he hadn't had cancer, but he didn't know how long that might be. Angelo tells me that Misha has been spending a lot of time with family and friends, and th...

BigBroBoblog: February 2010
http://bigbroboblog.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 06, 2010. I've been feeling a bit nostalgic lately. I'm not sure why, maybe because I've been doing some writing for a history of Iroquois Falls, due to be published later this year, or because I've been listening to more classic rock music than usual. I even had a facebook post that prompted some discussion about the top classic rock songs. There are several that I agree with, and contributed my own nomination for one that should be near the top: Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing".

BigBroBoblog: Sweet Baby James and me
http://bigbroboblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/sweet-baby-james-and-me.html
Sunday, August 15, 2010. Sweet Baby James and me. Last night, I watched "Spectacle: Elvis Costello with. James Taylor". It reminded me why James Taylor has always been a personal favourite of mine. I'm sure that "Sweet Baby James" is one of the first albums I ever bought. I won't say that I identify with his music, because the themes really have nothing to do with my life. But I will say that I love listening to his music, and find it very relaxing and pleasurable. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

BigBroBoblog: October 2009
http://bigbroboblog.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 12, 2009. Among things for which I'm thankful. And the list is endless. But here's one for which I'll be immensely thankful for the rest of my life. This is the first photograph of my soon-to-be Little Niece or Little Nephew (I have a bet with her Grandma that she'll be a girl - Isabelle). Yes, you are looking at the first sonogram of Little Bro Dan and Pretty Christine's baby, who is due to arrive on or about March 6, 2010. It was taken during the 12th week of gestation.

BigBroBoblog: November 2009
http://bigbroboblog.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Back to life, back to reality. Just back from an amazing week in the Mayan Riviera, where I attended the wedding of my all-time best friend, Bill and his love, Lise Anne. We lost a day at the beginning of the week, thanks to Hurricane Ida and Air Canada's reluctance to fly to Cancun. But I think we made up for it. We had a great group of 25 people who toured and partied all week long. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Back to life, back to reality. View my complete profile.

BigBroBoblog: May 2010
http://bigbroboblog.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. My overnight trip to Toronto. I'm just back from an overnighter to Toronto, to see my honourary granddaughter Abby and her Mom and Dad, Christine and Dan. Abby has been in The Hospital for Sick Children for a week now. At first it looked like meningitis, but thankfully, that was quickly ruled out. It hasn't been confirmed, but it looks like a stomach bug of some kind kicked the crap out of the little sweetie, dehydrating her and sending her into shock. No, I'm not depressed. Qui...

BigBroBoblog: July 2009
http://bigbroboblog.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. Something to chew on. I've never bought organic products, mostly because of the cost factor. Now I don't have to feel like I'm getting less nutritional benefit for less money. Here's an excerpt from today's Globe and Mail:. Consumers who choose organic food are often willing to pay a premium, but it turns out added nutritional benefits may not be included in the hefty price tag. Sunday, July 26, 2009. Meet my new neighbours. The previous owner left me with several perennials....

BigBroBoblog: Bus Ride Observations
http://bigbroboblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/bus-ride-observations.html
Thursday, April 15, 2010. What I saw today on my ride to work:. Lots of police cars and an ambulance at Hurdman Station. Turns out it was just a medical emergency for an OCTranspo rider. Talk about over-response on the part of police! Short guy, about five-foot-nothin', roughly 60 years old with an IQ to match, gets on the bus while involved in an animated conversation. His lips were moving, but there was nothing coming out. I love this city! You need to find yourself a better class of commenters, Bob.
