I hope everyone is enjoying a bit of the second summer we're having here. The leaves are turning bright colours (and haven't all fallen in my yard yet), the temperatures are mild, and the humidity is low. A perfect time to sit outside and complete this week's puzzle...

Greetings from about 100 miles off the coast of Ireland, headed for Southampton. I'm just a day from the end of a transatlantic crossing, something Ive always wanted to do. Luckily I have intermittent internet access so am able to get the puzzle and post this blog (I...

Well, there is no joy in Mudville Baltimore. But wait 'til next year. So the Orioles aren't going to the World Series but on the upside I won't miss any of their games while I'm on vacation next week. I'm diverting my mind from their loss by solving this week's...

Welcome to October everyone, probably my favourite month of the year. And an early Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! In good news I did not go to a Wild Card game this week - but I will be going to the first game of the American League Division Series on Saturday...

Fall is here! Fall is here! Shorter days, cooler temperatures, less humidity (unless it's raining). We do have the occasional tropical storm brush by (as Ophelia did recently), but I love even a cool rainy day this time of year. And it's nearly the end of baseball...

Greetings after a busy week for me, though you wouldn't have known it from reading the blog since I just posted last week's entry. Sorry about that - I'll be sure to check that this week's posts on time. The September weather I've been waiting for is finally here -...

Greetings from Seoul, South Korea! I mentioned last week that I'd be off on an international trip, and here I am. By the time you read this I'll probably be on my way home - possibly even over Canada assuming the plane follows a similar path as it did on the way here....

Happy September everyone. As predicted last week it's here, but it apparently dragged July and August with it to bring the warmest days of the year, so definitely not my kind of September yet. I'm off on an international trip next week and I expect the weather to be...

Note: This was drafted on Wednesday 30 August 2023 but not posted until today due to technical difficulties. Ack! Friday is September! I see Barb is already referring to summer in the past tense, but I know we still have a few sweltering days (weeks?) in store, so it...

I'm back from Port Huron after a great trip and a few nice views of Sarnia - sailed within a few feet of Canada but wasn't actually there. I'm now off on a work trip to Jersey City, New Jersey - right across the Hudson River from 25D. Our meeting went late today, so...
