mid winter, no blahs

A slow, light snow is falling. Just what winters were meant to be (in German fairy tales) No wind, no hard frost, just puffy flakes and dogs frolicking in the ravine. And glorious whiteness all around.

Christmas was fun. My wife takes excellent care of my wardrobe, not letting me become a dowdy middle-aged fart (well not as far as clothes are concerned, anyway) I got a sharp new suit, a couple of shirts and some other smaller items. In retrun, I gave her a new bag, gloves - all white. And a bluetooth earpiece for her BlackBerry. We ate turkey leftovers and chocolate for about ten days. I weigh 20 pounds more than at this time last year. I LOVE capitalism.

I haven't been paying much attention to the news lately, except the Human Rights Commission fiasco with Ezra Levant. The man is a true hero. I hope that the nation wakes up and that we get rid of this vestige of totalitarianism, called HRC. Any sentence that starts with "Human rights..." is liable to be full of some leftie crap. I believe in individual rights - freedom of speech etc... - not in the rights of some groups not to be offended. Read Ezra's blog if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

I did watch a bunch of hockey of the Christmas holiday, more specifically Canada's juniors who were once again magnificent in winning the World Cup for the under 19's. Strange thing was that there were more Canadian fans in the stands than Czechs, even though the championship took place in Czecho.

May your year be happy, healthy and filled with joy. Rejoice in your libery and defend it wherever you can. Rejoice in hockey, too. And in chocolate!!
