John Lennons Jukebox
A few years back, a portable jukebox that had once belonged to John Lennon, in the 60’s was discovered. On it were Lennon’s hand written labels for his favorite 40 songs. This documentary is about those songs.
Found this at Smashing Telly It's smashing! Watch it if you've got 48 minutes to spare.
Plus ça change...
Action urged on unpaid wages
Mike Harris and his slash and burn gang gutted the Ontario Ministry of Labour when they were in power. Unpaid wages were a major issue when I worked for an MPP and it seems that nothing has changed. McGuinty tore into the Conservatives when he was in opposition but it looks like this is another instance of him failing to do anything to rectify an unfair situation when he has the power to do so. These workers earned their wages; they deserve to be paid.

Let there be light!
The Nag is young at heart (Some would say immature. To them I say, "I know you are but what am I?) and old age is at least twenty years older than I am. Somehow no one thought to inform my body of this. As you may know, I have that scourge of the elderly-cataracts- and my vision is not what it used to be. However I don't want anyone messing around anywhere near my eyes so I've been putting the surgery off.
The other morning I had a scare when I logged in and couldn't read text on the screen of my MacBook. It's a tiny screen but I'd been able to read it the day before. I was convinced that I'd become blind overnight as punishment for my procrastination.
Just then Nag Jr. happened to walk by, pressed the F2 key and, hallelujah, I could see again!

The Passion Fruit of the Christ Easter Soufflé
"Girls, the only ingredient that takes a bit of poise and wrangling to procure is, of course, the flesh of the Christ. But for Heaven's sake, don't order over the Internet or you are likely to wind up with something in an Igloo cooler that came out of a Chinese dissident! Instead, I have found, that Catholic priests are rather alacritous in their willingness to allow me to score a stack of freshly consecrated hosts for my Body of Christ Soufflé. But come prepared with an envelope full of crisp twenty-dollar bills and a comely young boy who gives off the vague impression of being up for almost anything."Read complete recipe here
Sacrilegious! But what else would you expect at Easter from an atheist who isn't particularly fond of chocolate?
Comments? Or not?
Over the past few weeks I've received a few emails (3 to be exact) from folks requesting that I add comments to my blog. What do you think? Would you comment? Would you be civil? You can email me at the address in the sidebar and if there seems to be an overwhelming (I'll decide how many because it's my blog) demand I'll add comments.
Britons can't imagine a life without booze
Britons can't imagine a life without booze
All I have to say about that is, judging from a get-together with a group old friends last night, Canadians also like to down a lot of alcohol when they socialize (in this case margaritas). I don't know if fear is the driving emotion here but we sure love us our alcohol. Luckily Mr. Nag had to get up at 4:30 this morning to go to work so we left before any real damage was done. I'm betting some of my compadres are wishing they'd left early, too.
Most people in Britain do not believe they could lead their lives enjoyably orsuccessfully without alcohol - but don't consider this to be a problem either, according to new research.
The fear of a life without alcohol is so endemic that most adults say they are scared by the idea of socialising, relaxing, taking part in any celebration or trying to have a good night's sleep without drinking.

Andrea Gibson - For Eli
At first I thought this video was a little over the top but I was in tears when it ended. Watch it right through.
