Bugger

I've been laying on this green plastic for sometime.  What a ride it was to get there.

---

It was warm and humid.  Dark.  I was nestled nicely between these two longish black hairs, leaning back looking outside at all the colours whizzing by.  Crazy world out there you know.  It was noisy, there was a lot of laughter, crying, screaming.  I could see toys made of plastic of all colours.  I was happy and at peace here at home.  Then, suddenly, something blocked my view, it turned very dark and I felt a breeze starting to build from the cave behind me.  It quickly turned into a horrible storm with gale winds and I could no longer hang on to my hair.  I lost my footing, flew in the dark and fell onto something soft.

It was suddenly very bright.  Brighter than I had ever seen it.  Light was all around me.  I had to close my eyes, protect myself.   But there was no where to go.  Help!  I was surrounded by millions of my family.  All were screaming for help as well.  It seemed like we were riding the California Screamin' roller coaster at Disneyland.  Swinging left, right, up, down.

Then this green plastic object suddenly smashed into us and, when I came to, everything was calm again.  A few of us were panting trying to find something to grab onto on this smooth plastic surface.  What is it?  When will we find our next home?

I have a cold.  My nose is itchy.  My head hurts.  Oh oh.  I am about to start sneezing.  Of course I covered my nose and mouth, just like mother said to.  

I run over to the play corner, grab the box of lego and start building a house.  

I want the roof to be green....ah, there is a piece.  Here comes Kate, she wants to play and grabs the green piece from me.  Not nice.

Banning Russian Teams and Athletes

Speaking Tuesday to legislators in London about Wimbledon, British Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston said: "Absolutely nobody flying the flag for Russia should be allowed. Many of us would be willing and able to [allow them to] compete as non-aligned, non-flag-bearing entities. But I think it needs to go beyond that. We need some potential assurances that they are not supporters of Vladimir Putin and we are considering what requirements we may need to try and get some assurances along those lines." (source =  https://www.cbc.ca/sports/tennis/wimbledon-british-government-in-talks-about-russian-players-1.6386102 ) The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has sparked much debate in the world of sports.  Should Russian teams be banned from competing?  Should individual Russian athletes be banned?  Should teams of athletes be allowed to compete but without flag, uniform, country name, anthem, etc.? Some athletes have said that it is unfair to mix politics and sports.  They rightly state t

A Personal Request

To my readers, Yesterday I registered to run the 5K HSBC 2009 Childrun.  This is an event that is being held June 7, 2009 for the 24th year.  It raises funds to help provide care and treatment to children who suffer from cancer.  I consider it a worthwhile cause and I am therefore asking you to donate whatever you can.  Here is a link to my personal web page where you can make a donation.  Thanks in advance for your support. Olivier Let me know what you think about what you have just read. Please and thanks!

Ash Barty

The news that Ash Barty has taken the decision to retire at the age of 25 has caused many people to react.  Some understand, others question, others accuse.   Her decision has touched off a few ideas of my own. When is enough actually enough?  When do we decide we have enough?  When can we stop and just be content with what we have? At 25 she has achieved so much.  I have seen words accusing her of lack of character, of quitting or of not having the mental fortitude (one person I saw was wondering what was wrong with women's tennis?)  I think none of these people can really speak with any authority.  First of all most of these people, writing the drivel, can hardly speak from a place of success.  How many grand slams have they won?  How many tens of millions of dollars have they earned, how many weeks at number one have they spend and how well known are they in the world?   At some point, enough is enough.  I respect Ash Barty for taking a personal decision.  She has enough.  She h
