Feast of Valentine
February 9, 2026 Good morning! Do you use the same coffee cup every single day — or do you rotate a few of your favourites — or don’t you care — or don’t you drink? Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? (Send your votes) Later this …
Groundhog Day
February 2, 2026 Good morning! Happy Feast of The Ground Hogs.

Adding More People Causes Problems
January 26, 2026 Good morning! I am cherishing and savoring each additional minute of light as it returns slowly to the northern hemisphere.

Culture Happens

Human Skills
December 29, 2025 Good morning! Merry Christmas Day #5 Snow, beautiful snow! Did you enjoy the Popped Tarts Bowl? How about the movie?! The data are not yet in — and with the better part of seven days still remaining, premature at best — but, are you enjoying stress-free holy days? If you are, we would …

December 22, 2025 Good morning! Happy (last day of) Hanukkah! And, later this week: Merry Christmas! And, while we’re at it: Happy Winter Solstice! We’ve been having Weather Whiplash — with temperatures ranging from twenty-below to fifty-above and every number in between! And the wind, oh the wind!
