Still Here.

Where has the time gone? Here it is the middle of May nearly already. We've been quite busy with one thing and another including a wedding, a funeral and MORE SNOW!!! So the posts have been pretty lean. But we're still kicking here on the 'ol homestead so I'll try and be a little more postactive (if that's a word)
I was just reading yesterday that the geniuses at the CRTC have finally figured out that we reallty do not like Canadian programming no matter how much they shove it down our throats, so they have come up with a few incentives to improve the situation. If a Canadian broadcaster airs stuff that is produced with Canadian money and resources and it meets a certain criteria, that broadcaster is rewarded with 2 1/2 more minutes an hour of commercials for that show. Well thanks a lot guys. Not only do we have to suffer through that undigestible pap but we now have to watch more annoying Canadian commercials to get through it.
I've had little time to get out on the bike in the past few weeks and when I have had the time the weather has been deplorable. I guess it could be worse. We could be out watching soccer in this weather.
