Weekly Wrap Up (Jun. 22 - Jun. 28)

Wow, if I mess this up, it is all my fault. The past couple of weeks, I seem to be seeing double whenever I'm looking at a screen for more than an hour . I need to book an appointment with my optometrist and see if my eye sight has changed. I've worn glasses/contacts all my life, and believe it or not, over the past 5-6 years, my eyes keep getting better 😮 I'm told it has to do with controlling my blood sugar the best I have in 53 years . Thank gosh for insulin pumps. Enough of my sob story

Howdy   No, not Stampede yet, but can't say howdy without the cowboy emoji   I kind of had a blah week the past week  for me. Wasn't bad, wasn't good, but we will take it. The alternative isn't so great🪦. Sunday through Thursday it was hot and dry and you couldn't see down the street due to the smoke from all the wildfires burning across the north of Canada👨‍🚒. I haven't really looked at the US of A, but I imagine they aren't too different. I heard that there is even some some smoke fl

I was doing up our Weekly Update this week and noticed I had a long hard slog ahead of me to recap all the blogs   Then I got thinking about my preamble and thinking I should do an equal long and labourious one.  So get ready, here we go. How was everybody's past week?      Let's check what happened in the past week on the GA News Blog. Tuesday was the start of the week with a Deep Dive into the deepest part of our imaginations:   Friday, Val was in with a cou

There goes another month in the books! Can you believe you all have less than 7 months to get my Christmas Present mailed to me ? Unfortunately there might be another Canada Post strike here, so the sooner you get it in the mail, the better chance it will arrive here. This year ! I also can't believe it is still bright out at 9:40 PM my time. Dusk is like at 10:30 PM   What all did you get up to this past month, the sort of, kind of, transition month, from spring to summer? I managed t

Weekly Wrap Up (May 18 - May 24)

I was thinking how it is funny how things have changed over the years here at GA. A certain author I know found a movie called Riley and she may have a story called Ridley and she was wondering if maybe someone took her story and made a screenplay out of it, and made the movie for profit . So being the dedicated friend that I am, I rented the movie to see the similarities. Just an FYI, this is my opinion only, not to be taken as fact. Three similarities: Both the movie and her story

I have a weekend off from anything so I'm actually here  Thanks again to Cia to helping out the past couple of weeks.  You know what? I'm at a loss for words this week. No, I'm not drunk and/or incapacitated.  We are in our annual Victoria Day weekend in Canada, so they means we get rain and snow. No snow this year though. I decided to start on a plumbing project in my shower, and I bought some new apparatuses and thought today would be a good day to get them installed. When I bou

Hellooooo! How is everybody  ? First off, can you shout out your love to Cia this week? You probably didn't notice, but she used her magic powers and went in and put in the stories of the week in last week's blog and published it  I'm hoping she will be able to help me out this week too!   This weekend, I got convinced last weekend, when I probably could claim I was not of a clear mind and not to be held responsible for anything I committed too , to do something questionable.

Let's throw things in the mixer and mix things up this week . Well not mix, but let's look at a mirror image of the past week.  Now for the big news this week, that many have been waiting for. In fact there would not be any GA if it wasn't for the guy that we are holding our annual Anthology for this week. A huge thank you to all the authors that contributed this year. Without you, his memory might fade away  . Make sure you stop by, read and leave a comment or two! He will be missed,

Sunburn anyone?  What is the rule #1 of when you have the first day above 20C/50F with the sun higher in the sky of Spring? Burn baby burn! I think not ! So, that kind of happened today and luckily it didn't really burn me, just a little bit of colour on my face, arms, and legs. In Canada, anything over 0C/32F is shorts weather, so normally I was shorting today . I did have an enjoyable 'me' day though. Got a massage, an adjustment (not on my attitude, you're out

Well Happy Easter if you celebrate Well Happy Passover if you celebrate   Well Happy Long Weekend for everyone else  Unless you don't get a long weekend and then in that case   I was looking at the calendar and noticed that April is just 2/3rds gone  I really haven't seen too much spring signs other than the snow gone. We are dry, really dry and grass fires seem to pop up here and there. We have precipitation in the forecast but it really isn't enough . Long hot summer coming, bu

Who has a cold that won't go away 🙋‍♂️ It has been a week. I'm sick of water, I'm sick of Vitamin C, I'm sick of decongestants, I'm sick of everyone giving me suggestions on what to do  None of them work.  Anyhow, how is everyone doing?  Can't bring the mood of the Weekly Wrap Up down afterall   I was looking at the south Pacific looking where a place was in a article I was reading and I saw Guam on the map. So, have you ever been to Guam? Didn't planes from North America stop in

Just rolled in at 1:30 AM local time! No, I was not out drinking with Brad. Ironically I was at Brad's playing poker . Not high stakes poker, but the kind that a bunch of guys, all of them married but me, and I the token gay guy, get together and and have a drink and play some rounds and bs and rib each others 🎴. Needless to say I contributed my $20 for 2 games and came home with nothing   One guy there was telling us of how he is starting an online business auctioneering things, and he was

THEY LIED    2 - 4 cm my derriere!!! (Don't see that word used much anymore) I wake up and have to leave the house to find about 10" of the white stuff fell overnight. Thinking I had a lot of time to get to my first appointment  I didn't really get up early enough to go 4X4ing through the snow and slush that covered the roads. No plows, no sanding, it is the joy of living in Calgary at the end of March and through April. It is warm enough that most of the snow melts within 24 hours or

Oh Lordy, lordy! What day is it? When trying to put in the title of the Weekly Wrap Up it took me about 5 times until I looked at the calendar on the bottom right of my computer.   Yes, when most of North America and the rest of the world have flipped the calendar to March 23rd, I'm still stuck in the 22nd  I guess the great thing that happened a few days ago was that Spring has sprung 🌈. In my neck of the woods that means that April and May snowstorms bring June flowers .  So I

It is time for my bi-annual reminder to change your clocks if you are in a area that does that . This is the start of Daylight Savings Time, so that means we are springing forward and losing one hour of sleep. In preparation, I had a nice nap this afternoon   A question for you. I can't ask what age you are, as that is a no no in today's internets  so please don't supply it !! But I'm more curious when you retire, if you are retired, does the time switch mess you up? I know a lot of retired

I'm writing this blog on Saturday, so it happens to be World Compliment Day. Now most are reading it on Sunday, so let's pretend it is still Saturday . Now I handed out a lot of personal compliments today, but then @Valkyrie replied and ruined my day! How rude!! I do think I am above her taunts and meaniness, so let me move forward and compliment each and everyone of you that help make GA a great place to be!

Hi everyone! Not sure what happened last week where some said they got two different blogs for the Weekly Wrap-Up, but I didn't. Are you all sure you weren't out late at a pub/bar the night before you got home . Perhaps with Brad and Steve?    Now I know that sports sometimes flies in GA like a lead balloon, but humour me  Over that past week or so, instead of a NHL All-Star Game and break, they got the 4 most represented countries (less Russia) in the NHL, and had a tournament called the 4

What up, guyz?   Don't you like old men that try to talk like they are young? Oh wait, do we have any young people here ? I guess when I think young, I think of like 20 and under, not sure why. Actually I do, I guess I don't consider myself that old. They say you are only as old as you feel. I guess I am older when I get up in the morning and then I'm back to a teenager as the day gets later, watching late night talk shows at night, and then wondering why I feel so old in the morning .

Interesting day I had today   First went to a ringette game on one side of the city. Then off off to a flag football game in the central area of the city. Then to a youngins, U14 hockey game in the south side of the city. Finally a Junior B hockey game outside of the city in a neighbouring city. Two games my team won, two they tied. Now you get to guess which were the ties and the wins . Oh, I did come home after.  I was thinking on my drive home that I need to get traveling. I realize

Oh well, at least February is only 28 days this year I find February the most boring month of the year. We are about to head into the -20 to -30 C or -12 to 18 F this upcoming week  That might be why I hate it. Have to tell my annual February joke too! If you are a farmer, you cannot look at it  No posting it in the chat below either   As I mention the weather, someone I know said I chose to live here .

I'm bored already   What do you all think I should do? I want to fly down to the states and visit Krista but she has a very, very, very long list on how she will kill me if I ever show up .
