I am a sixty something, gay man, in Victoria BC. I have been in the arts my entire life. Of course I have a day job as well. My husband and I will soon celebrate our fortieth anniversary! We also have the sweetest, pushiest dog in the world.

In response to Elon Musk’s claim that millions of Canadians want to be part of the sates and are being censored by our government, that is a big stinking pile of bullsh!t. We don’t want to be part of your country. This is the same rhetoric that Putin used before invading the Ukraine. Kindly F off!

Wooooops! My phone seems to have been on airplane mode since some time yesterday!

Cruise ship season begins March sixth. I wonder if tourist from the states will act differently this year? Will we treat them differently? Will Canadians boycott Alaskan cruises?

With the threat of a looming trade war with the United States, Vancouver city council convened a special meeting earlier this week and pledged to “buy local” and “buy Canadian.” @bychrischeung.bsky.social reports.

Tomorrow, February 15, is the 60th anniversary of Canada’s maple leaf flag.

Just in case people need to be reminded, Canada is a sovereign country. While we respect our southern neighbours, we have NO desire to become part of your country!

As long as anyone can, on a whim, change the name of international waters, I here by change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of Liza Minnelli! Watch out Georgia Straight, you’re next!

One of the worst things about living with LEMS is the occasional extreme muscle pain. With me, it’s usually in my legs or feet. Tonight I had a double whammy. It started with my left quads and then a second later, twice as painful, right quads. Thankfully, Rod rushed to get water and heating pads.

The reboot of Frasier has been canceled. I wanted to love it as much as the original, but it just didn’t click. At least it was better than the Murphy Brown reboot. Like Frasier, the original was a favourite in its day.

Good lord! Trump has fired the entire board of at the Kennedy Centre and installed himself as the chairman. The wannabe dictator is also canceling any drag related events there. I am sure the Kennedy Centre Honours will either be in the block or just honour MAGA loyalists. You poor US citizens.

Make it permanent. #cdnpoli

Not that I need to remind my fellow Canadians but now more than ever, BUY CANADIAN!

Rod and I have been slowly abandoning regular television and moving to streaming services, especially the free ones, Pluto and Tubi. This morning I found another, Plex. Like the others it has great old shows and movies, including two of my faves from the 80s, Falcon Crest and Knots Landing!

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

And a few more….

A few more of my paintings

As I am leaving Facebook and Instagram, I figured I should post more of my paintings here.

Rod and I are in the process of renovating the main bathroom. Today we put the new freestanding linen cabinet together. I am happy to say, we survived and finally got it together without any arguments! Though, my back isn’t happy.

Trump II has begun. Many people are asking: “What can I do now?” Here are 10 recommendations. Please let me know your thoughts, and if you have anything else you'd like to add to the list.

I have been a Trekkie since I was a kid. I also love Michelle Yeoh. Thus it pains me to say, Star Trek 31 is a train wreck! Sigh…

I am in the process of migrating over from Facebook. I am hoping to dump all Meta accounts in a couple of weeks.
