Out of Context*

Posted on February 8, 2020 by Anthony

I remember watching an episode of Seinfeld when Jerry remarks that it’s strange to see George’s father in Manhattan rather than Long Island.  The punch line is “it’s so out of context”. Today’s Perfect Moment is much like that. I … Continue reading →

You know that part of the airplane journey where the captain comes on over the loudspeaker and tells you about the flight you are going to take. The Captain predicts the flying time, claims that we are going to be … Continue reading →

Posted on December 14, 2019 by Anthony

Although I have written a few positive posts about my commute, I have written a lot more grouchy posts. Maybe it is the nature of commuting.  Whenever anyone asks me about my commute at work, I answer that it isn’t … Continue reading →

Posted on October 31, 2019 by Anthony

Sometimes you have to laugh when the joke is on you. In fact, maybe it is the most important time to laugh.  Maybe.  This is what I was thinking when the universe played a joke on me Wednesday evening. You … Continue reading →

Pair Looks

Posted on October 19, 2019 by Anthony

I don’t know whether it is coincidence, or fate, or that I just happened to see the connections that at other times I am completely oblivious to, but on Friday, I completely saw the connection. Earlier in the day, my … Continue reading →

What Would Marshall McLuhan Say?

Posted on October 13, 2019 by Anthony

I don’t get into graffiti. I don’t go crazy over Banksy, though I suspect there is something there worth looking into–maybe when I am older. The other day, I spotted this piece of graffiti on a TTC subway. The subways … Continue reading →

A Tale of Two Rains

Posted on August 13, 2019 by Anthony

Stop and Listen

Posted on August 7, 2019 by Anthony
