Got a mahjong crash course yesterday. Lots of fun but my eggs were scrambled from information overload!

Finding (good) forgotten candy in my desk is on par with finding money in my jeans pocket.
A stick of Hi-Chew candy on a brown desktop. It is in an orange wrapper; this is a special melon flavor that a friend brought from Hokkaido.

#DollyParton 's family has requested donations to her Imagination Library in lieu of flowers. Learn more about the Imagination Library: imaginationlibrary.com/about-us/ To donate: tribute.imaginationlibrary.com
Dolly Rebecca Parton
January 19, 1946 – August 25, 2026
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, kindness, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media tagging @dollyparton.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

I love you Canada, but may never understand your love for Clamato cocktails and pineapple on pizza.

Seafood platter. I haven't eaten oysters in many years for due to a bad experience, but these went down the hatch along with everything else. Our seafood skeptics in the party had no problem with it, either.

Had a wonderful dinner with friends (they know who they are) at #GardeManger in Montreal. Excellent food, service, and company. I'm going to remember that meal for a long, long time. Even if you don't think you like seafood, give it a try. It made believers out of some in our party!

Yesterday's breakfast at Flippers in Toronto. Souffle pancakes with fresh fruit and delicious MAPLE CREAM. The pancakes are so light and fluffy but surprisingly filling. I also like the little surprise (the good kind) at the bottom of the coffee cup.

Fresh chunks of banana, strawberry, and blueberries form a cycle around them. A generous dollop of maple cream is atop the pancakes. A mint leaf is sitting in the cream as garnish.

Hello, Canada.
The big TORONTO sign in Nathan Phillips Square.Vancouver airport, Canada. 
Hetux
Year: 2000
Artist: Connie Watts
Dimensions and materials: Aluminum, baltic birch, stain | 6.5 x 4.2 x 4.6 m
Terminal: US
Level: Level 4
Security access: After security

Named after artist Connie Watt's grandmother, this dramatic work combines the features of the mythological Thunderbird with the personality of a woman Watts describes as determined, creative and generous. It is a strong example of Watts' style, with an innovative contemporary recasting of the elements of classic Northwest Coast art. Created from powder-coated aluminum and stained birch panels, Hetux looms above travellers as they walk through YVR's Pacific Passage, displaying images of animals and celestial bodies that represent aspects of Hetux's character including intensity, determination, joy and prosperity.

That Sheep Detectives movie had unexpected emotional depth! It felt a bit like Murder, She Wrote meets Scooby Doo--but with animals. Pretty good cast, too.

Some of the wildlife I saw today. A black-crowned night heron and a sparkly blue squid.
A bird about 15 inches tall (maybe) stands atop a wall. Its body is shaped a bit like a slender penguin. It is brownish gray with darker feathers on its head and back. A sparkly blue squid shaped lure sits on a service bell in a food service ordering window. A piece of cardboard underneath the squid-bell has the handwritten words "Please shake squid for service."

There's always time for The Far Side classics:
The Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson. Several cows are standing in a pasture on their hind legs. A lookout cow posted near the road yells, "Car!" 

A car drives by the cows, who are standing on all fours. Once the car is gone, they resume standing around on their hind legs.

Sweating my butt off outdoors on a work trip. At least the views make up for it.
A nice plantation-style house. It is dark green with white trim. Coconut trees and red ti plants grow around the building. The sky is very blue with puffy white clouds in the distance. Three people push a red canoe up onto the beach. A hotel and coconut trees are in the distance. The viewer is standing at waters edge as waves wash onto the beach.
