  1. Unfortunate news about Jimmy Carter's condition. When I think of still living former presidents who might shuffle off this mortal coil, he's not the one I'd want to go first.

  2. Me: Love absolutely is the answer. We need to really love our neighbors and I'm going to be better at that this year.

    Also me: If there's one guy who needs beating about the head and neck with a shovel, it's Matt Gaetz. F*ck I hate that guy.

  3. A beauty goal for gold for #Canada, but commiserations to #Czechia. They fought like hell and would have been truly deserving of the gold.

  6. Why does NORAD track Santa? You can thank a 1955 Sears ad with a misprinted phone number and a kindly Colonel at the Continental Air Defence Command.

  7. If you've ever wondered if the Moment lenses for smartphones are worth it, here's a throwback to a few years ago using a Pixel 2. The one on the left used the Moment telephoto lens.

  8. A bottle of 2019 Montes Purple Angel is on offer tonight. It's 92% Carménère and 8% Petit Verdot.

    James Sucking gives this a 98 and various commentators call for cellaring it for up to a decade. It's young but delicious right now and I don't care what anyone says, it tastes of fresh peach and cherries at the moment. Glad we scored a couple more, though I doubt we're waiting a decade.

  9. Coming in for a landing in the far, far north.

    Just kidding, it's actually downtown Toronto in January, looking towards the Toronto Islands.

  12. Woohoo!! I've joined the mysterious ranks of people receiving unordered packages from China, with no note or return address

    My offering is a grey sweater of some sort. Despite the crinkly and cheap plastic bag it comes in, the label says "fashion" 4 or 5 times so that has to mean something.

    Now.. Who's the lucky duck on my Christmas list that gets this delightful and fashionable pullover regifted to them..

  13. Apropos of nothing, let's look at my old motorcycle parked beside a glacial lake in the mountains. It's old, as in I don't have it any more.

  15. @lewysj because I'm curious and nosey, I'll ask: is it pronounced "my-cross-kuh-pea" or "microscope-ee"? Or some unimaginable hybrid?

  19. For my GTA-based Mastodoners (Masties? MD'ers? No clue what the collective descriptor is) there's a butter tarts festival at the Small Arms Inspection Building in Mississauga until 2pm today.

    The lineup for the parking lot is horrific but the butter tarts are worth the wait.

    I must go lie down now.
