If you’re not a socialist by the age of twenty, you have no heart.
If you’re not a conservative by the age of forty, you have no brain.

Life’s too short to drink bad coffee or read bad blogs.

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

What I am looking forward to is the collective sounds of all heads turning the other way again, when Apple shows OS XI (which I think will be the next version) next year, along with a ton of integrated, shiny devices. I have a feeling OS 11/XI has been in the works for a while and will represent some radical paradigm shifts in how we use computers.

Cut out a picture of the R8 and put it on your wall. Then buy a Golf.

Q: Why doesn’t Hamilton have an NHL team?
A: Because then Toronto would want one.

I don’t really care what I drive. I’m not going to overextend myself to get a fancier car so I can impress someone on the street. I’d rather spend it on clothes, food, and travel.

Via a series of adapters Apple says will be available shortly, users will be able to attach external display sources, such a DVD players or even other computers, to the iMac’s display. At that point, those sources will take over the iMac’s display, effectively turning it into an external monitor or an HDTV.

The Honda Odyssey minivan was torn in half on impact.

Somewhere in-between fantasy and reality can be a pretty great place to live.

Be mindful of what comes between you and the earth. Buy good tires, good sheets, and good shoes.

For those few hours today
He reminded us all of the peach, the umbrella, the bed, and the flying dog,
And what it was like to be a six year old kid with childhood fantasies, once more.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

The Globe and Mail and her crew – Mr Smith et al, make Toronto a move-able feast and boy-oh-boy, that’s manna for the hungry masses. I’ve been all across our f(l)air land: Vancouver is a pretender and Victoria its weak and foggy dauphin. Edmonton and Calgary punch way above their collective weights. Winnipeg, she spreads like a rash – hoods-all-over boundaries. Ottawa, she’s fat; Regina she’s flat and the Maritime metros are are wheedlee-deedlee-dull. I live in the environs of Saskatoon where Art is the rink guy and Edgy is the common pit-bull tag…where the city fathers name streets for high volume real estate producers but refuse to bestow such an honour on, oh, let’s say Joni Mitchell. Ahhh, the good old Big Smoke…rivaled only by the Quebec Gotham. You get the White Night – we get a ‘Taste of Saskatchewan’. You get the authors at Harbourfront – we get the Draggin’s Car Show….sorry, ‘Custom’ Car Show. I love T.O., Russ – many, many outside the scope of the GTA do. But hey, if you think Toronto haters are rich, wait until my fellow flatlanders read this. They’d run me outa town on a rail…they would, if Via still bothered to pass this way. Cheers.
