Happy Anniversary to my wonderful wife. Thanks to WordPress, I can schedule this post to appear at the same time we’re out for supper. I’m watching the Toronto game as I type this so excuse the errors. Toronto just scored.
Readings
You can follow my daily readings as they happen here. Below are a selected few, with commentary, from the past week. They’re posted to the blog daily under the title OTR Links.
Sunday
- A heads up that automobile insurance in the province will be changing
- Of course, you’re being tracked by Google – but through its fonts?
Monday
- I’m not much of a historian but the Ambassador Bridge has always fascinated me
- A review of the latest HP Chromebook – it sure looks interesting and far more powerful than mine
Tuesday
- I would never, ever do this on my marking but I still got a smile reading them anyway
- This is a very interesting visual analysis of democracy around the world and, of course, you have to consider the author’s lens

- Things not to do if you want to keep parents on your side
Thursday
- Big news around here as a ship older than the Titanic is towed down the Detroit River
- I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that Microsoft Edge phones home with each website you visit
Friday
- Leafs lose! Leafs lose! And a bunch of them thought they’d move on. I’m watching it Saturday night as I type this

Peace playlist
A playlist of the songs of Peace that we open and close the show with. We’ve done this since the situation in Ukraine started and will continue until it’s over.
Technology Troubleshooting
When I was growing up, our cartoons had adult messages sneaked into them to make watching cartoons with kids somewhat pleasant.
Does anyone remember The Flintstones?
I’m sitting here doing some quality grandparenting and Bubble Guppies is on the television. The kids love it.
I’m still waiting for a Fred and Wilma moment.
