It is a blog, after all

Every now and again, I will live up to the weblog stereotype and start to talk about my cat. Like today. Today I want to celebrate the fact that my cat, for the first year in history, did not _gain_ weight. She still looks suspiciously like a penguin when standing on her hind legs, but [...]

Last Day-ish

It’s been a weird week. Today is my last working day at IBM. My last day of employ there will, technically speaking, be two Thursdays hence, but that’s because I’ve got some pent up vacation to burn before we officially part ways.

Hershel Pepper, 1919-2005

My grandfather passed away on Monday in Jewish General Hospital of complications surrounding congestive heart failure, possibly aggravated by a small stroke and a fall just after Father’s Day. It was how he’d have wanted to go: quietly and quickly, with a minimum of fuss.
PEPPER, Hershel. On Monday, July 4, 2005. Devoted husband [...]
