  1. Toaster strudels! Could they be any more unhealthy and tasty?
  2. My last presentation of this term is DONE. Just one more paper and 2 exams to go!
  3. The care and attention to detail that Middle One puts into his thank you cards. WOW!
  4. Laughter.
  5. Sudoku puzzles!

LED – Canada is considering Bill C-384. I strongly support this proposed change to the criminal code.

    I’m reading “Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It: And Other Cooking Projects” by Karen Solomon and there is a recipe for ‘toaster tarts’ in it. Awesome book. Also has recipes for making bacon. And marshmallows. Mmmm…bacon marshmallow toaster tarts…

    I have VERY strong feelings about Bill C-384. I’m not on your side on this one.
    It’s a very complex issue, well beyond what most people consider.

      I would be very – very – much interested in hearing your opposing perspective. I’ve been reading many of the various perspectives and opinions from a variety of sources, and of course, I have my own personal stories (which leads to my perspective and opinions!). But I’m curious what I may be missing.

        And I should also say that I’m okay with not having that discussion here, or in blog-land at all, but would still very much like to hear your thoughts.

          Let me think about it. By that I mean I will either blog about it myself, or discuss it with you personally, via email or even phone.
          Publicly, let me say that I understand being in favour of it, and in fact I can lean that way as well. I get it, I do. But I have reason to be extremely cautious. And I cringe at those who adamantly feel it’s the best idea EVER.

    Sorry, let me rephrase that. I don’t cringe at the people. I cringe at the idea.

      Oh, Sylvain, don’t be silly. Everyone knows the Best Idea Ever is chocolate.

      And what is WITH you and the whole talkin’ to me on the phone thing? Who, exactly, is paying you?

        I know you don’t like the phone, yet the sound of my voice somehow soothes you, you can’t help yourself. :-P

          You say that like it’s a good thing – just wait ’til some night when it’s 3 am and I can’t sleep and I call you because the sound of your voice “somehow soothes” me. And then an hour later.. and an hour after that..
