Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 06/09/2026What about by inhaling or eating something? I'm serious, Norman. 100
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 05/09/2026In no time at all, AI will be able to mine our thoughts. I am already practising thinking bland, anodyne thoughts so I'll be ready. Maybe it's already happened. I heard one of my former profs saying something straight from the recesses of her brain that slipped out unbidden That could be me. 100

Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I wish you a whole lot of sleep, Hugh, and a whole lot of appreciation from your siblings. If not for you, things would have been very different for the whole family. 010
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 10/08/2026That torrential rainstorm was in honour of Sally Sturdy, who with her superb sense of timing crossed over into eternity today. Her only son, Hugh, has been like a rock through it all. He moved from Toronto to Cambridge six years ago, giving up his home, life and job to make her last years glorious. 020
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Early this morning, I had that work dream: you know, the one where you're trying in vain to get to work and you're late and you're not even in your work clothes. It was ghastly. I stopped working in June of 2005. That's right: 2005. 100
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 22/07/2026We have used up our quota of heat for this summer. August will be unseasonably cool. September will be unreasonably cold. And so on. 100
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 18/07/2026God gave Noah the rainbow sign. No more water; the fire next time. 110
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 15/07/2026My first headache since (checks calendar) October 12, 1990. I don't miss headaches, that's for sure. 110
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I'm back into Sherman-land, Kevin. Listening to it as I fall asleep at night. Waking up at 3 a.m. and turning it on again. I can't help wondering what Hank Idsinga really thinks about it. 010
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Yesterday I was invited to the "Ram Rodeo" in Erin Ontario. I had to ask, which kind of Rams are involved? Dodge Rams? Or Sheep Rams? Because if the former, I can't go. I might have an asthma attack from all the fumes. But if the latter, I'm coming. Fumes be damned. 010
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 15/07/2026You know, I have a Master's degree and I cannot figure out how to make my printer be online again after a scheduled overnight software update on my Mac. You need a PhD for that stuff now. 000
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 15/07/2026It's been a year for you, eh, Norman? Hope you're doing okay in spite of it all. xxx 010
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 07/07/2026100% agree. Also, people who tell you "I love books!" are different than people who tell you "I love reading." Because Mein Kampf is a book, and so is "Windows2000 For Dummies". 100
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 24/06/2026I doubt it. Already I don't feel like reading anything unless I'm going to be marked on it, and that's not an attitude I want to encourage in myself. How are things working out in your world? You've been through the mill, too. 110
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 24/06/2026What I did this year: moved twice. did my master of arts in italian studies. had a stroke. defended my thesis. graduated with high distinction. started studying mathematics. 100
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Absolutely essential reading, not just on International Women's Day, but every other day as well. 130
Reposted by Eya DGMegan Kinch @meganysta.bsky.social · 08/03/2026For international women's day I'd like to be real. Women in trades are dealing with some really messed up stuff at work. Stuff you probably don't of. Death threats, false imprisonment, attempted murder- and this is happening on big union sites even. My latest: canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...canadiandimension.comThe trades remain a danger zone—especially for women workersThis year opened with the murder of a Minnesota woman by ICE agents. Last year closed with a workplace murder of an American woman tradesworker, also in Minnesota. This is not mere coincidence. The sa... 31915
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 01/01/2026If you could have someone come to your place today and thoroughly clean one room for you, to get your year off to a good start, which room would you choose? 100
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 01/01/2026You haven't lost it, Norman. Still going strong with the extra-clever repartee. Happy top-of-the-year to you, my friend. 020
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 23/10/2025I hope your enterprising kid has the sense to collect overdue fines and pocket the cash! 000
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 17/10/2025Oh, my lord. College and McCaul. I've driven the car so rarely since I've been in Toronto that while going to buy printer ink I suddenly found myself in gridlock and well into the reserve tank. I freaked, parked the car on the street, bought a gas can and some gas. Took me hours to get home. 010
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 17/10/2025Have you seen Queen's Park above College St. lately? It's a war zone. 100
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 13/10/2025You're probably their most stalwart and reliable donor, Norman. They're likely all saying, "It's good to have Norman back". 100
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 28/07/2025I don't know how "antisemitism" ever became a word to mean "against Judaism". Palestinians are Semites. Arabs are Semites. Many people, including some Israelis, are Semites. 294
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 28/06/2025Thank you, Norman. The Kazmierowski parents were neighbours of yours; they were on Shaw. 010
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 28/06/2025I didn't know when I awoke that the day was going to plummet, with a message from Tom, the husband of my friend Alice Kazmierowski, to tell me of Alice's death. She'd been living with leukemia for nearly 4 years, cared for by Tom & the good folks at Princess Margaret Hospital. Alice was beautiful. 100
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Really the only completely sympathetic character in the whole Barry and Honey Sherman murder case is one of his legal counsel, Shashank Upadhye. I was really taken with him: his integrity and his generosity of spirit. He's a genuine human being, and pretty humble and funny, too. 000
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Summertime at Moss Bank. My sister, a textile artist, made this postcard-size piece for my upcoming bday. Moss Bank is the beloved little boathouse on my rural property. Formerly The Adam Vaughan, renamed some years ago. I thought of Termite Spa, but far too subtle. So Moss Bank it is. 020
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Oh, dear god. I'll never make it to my dental appointment this afternoon. I wonder if I can get the dentist to play the podcast during my appointment, and save the cost of an anaesthetic. It'll be like hypnosis. 000
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Small details, though: I imagined Honey's hair was dark in the days before her death, yet the many computer-generated images show a fair-haired woman. Also, in episode 4, her hands are by her sides in the staged death scene images, not held behind her by her pulled-down jacket. 000
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 16/06/2025I'm not a television person whatsoever, but I'm obsessed with the Sherman murders, so last night I subscribed to Crave to watch their 4 episodes of a riveting documentary by @kevin-donovan.bsky.social. I thought I knew every detail going in, but I was wrong. Holy, it's good. 521
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Oh, hey, there, Norman! Stephanie is really a nice person and I've come to like and admire her a lot. Thanks for this. It really did cheer me up. 010
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 11/06/2025I am in such a bad mood that if someone even looks at me sideways I am likely to run screaming into traffic. I was wrong to come onto here today. Everything makes me furious. Especially my relatives and most of my friends. 110
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 07/06/2025@shawnmicallef.bsky.social do you know Heathaven, on Avenue Road? Two doors north of Algiers South? 000
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 06/06/2025And to think that I once named my little yellow boathouse The Adam Vaughan. I'm surprised he didn't advise me to cut down all the trees and build a spa there. (I re-named it Moss Bank before it was too late). 020
Eya DG @eyadg.bsky.social · 27/05/2025This will inspire a new video game. Or a Driver's Ed simulator. 010
