G'morning, folks. How are you now?

DW and I are off for another kayaking adventure. How is your day shaping up?

Have a great day and be awesome!

I hope your day was awesome. G'night, folks. Sleep well.

I'm in a mood for #karaoke tonight. I might head to the Jolly Taxpayer in an hour. Drop by if you're in the 'hood.

Hey, does anyone know what the Rideau River water levels are currently at between Poonamalie lock station and Smiths Falls?

Looks like this weekend is shaping up to be a great one for kayaking. But where to go?

Ross Brown 🇨🇦 @brownknowser.bsky.social · 1d

All right, I'm getting up.

Why not visit the lovely little town of Arnprior next Saturday and make it a destination? I'll be at their wonderful library for an event with THREE book clubs (open to the public) to talk about THE BONE-FINDER! They would like you to register, though, so that they know how many people to expect.

You too, Karen.

DW is at yoga so there's nothing pressing, though we'll need to go grocery shopping sometime this morning.

Random photo of the day. Roman bath.

The Roman baths in the town of Bath, England. An open-air area below street level shows pea-green water with visitors walking around the pool's edge. At street level, a cathedral reminds us of another period in England's history.

This image is from a scanned photograph and digitally cleaned up. It was captured in 1991 with a Minolta X-700.

I still haven't gotten out of bed. I slept badly again last night so I don't have much motivation.

G'morning, folks. How are you now?

It's one of those slow-moving Saturdays but we don't have to be running at full speed all the time.

Have a great day and make sure you let your friends and family know how much you love them. Life is short.

Be awesome!

I'm so glad that you shared part of your day with me. You're awesome.

G'night, folks. Sleep well.

Tell him to come out, regardless of whether he's written something or not.

DW and I are watching 'Cheers' and I feel so honoured to have actually shared a beer with George Wendt. Hard to believe this episode is more than 40 years old.

Thanks. I hope you get relief from your arthritis. I know that my pain tries very hard to control my mood, so I try to stay positive.

Take care, my friend.

Random photo of the day. Photo buff.

A beautiful woman with long, curly blonde hair sits naked on a white backdrop and poses to cover herself modestly. She has a camera strap around her neck and is holding the camera. She is looking at the camera as though she is checking its settings or at an image on the rear display.

This black-and-white photo was taken in a studio with Dutch model Fredau.

Mine aren't torn. I have osteoarthritis in one and we're trying to figure out why the other causes me so much pain.

Thanks, Karen. One way or another, I'm going to solve the problem with my shoulders.

Stay awesome, Megann. Thank you!

G'morning, folks. How are you now?

Last night was the first in months where I slept right through the night. Mind you, I was loaded up on enough pain meds to take down a horse but I'll take my win.

I hope your day is fantastic. Be awesome!

I attended two writer's groups today and I'm mentally exhausted. I'm a bit of a social introvert so it taxes me to be around strangers.

I hope your day brought you joy. You're awesome.

G'night, folks. Sleep well.
