Looking at last week’s front-page photo of bright pink, purple and yellow Easter eggs stuck in grey and white snow depressed the heck out of me. Enough with winter already. Spring has sprung and I’m hopeful the snow will take a hint and take a hike… […]
When you read what’s going on in the world you get left feeling like the world’s a couple bricks short of a full load. At least I do. Here’s some stuff don’t make a lick of sense to me… […]
1/ Last week the Sun papers were upset that the Globe and Mail ran a photo of figure skater Kaetlyn Osmond on the front page because she was doing a leg kick and the picture makes her crotch front-page news… […]
Well the editor got upset with me the other night on the Facebook because I told him I had no ideas for this week’s column and that I was going to be late with it. He called me a bunch of names he’d never print in the paper, but that’s the kind of #@$% that he is. So I decided I’d just go through all his online stories and make comments about what’s going on in town… […]
I feel like that kid in that Six Cents movie that Bruce Willis made a few years ago. I see dead people. Not really sure why they named that movie after pocket change, but that don’t change the fact a lot of famous people died lately. Thing about getting older is when some famous person you know of for a long time croaks, you kind of check your own pulse to make sure your still walking among the living… […]
The Town and its people are planning lots of stuff this year, but there seems to be some confusion on what that stuff means or how things are supposed to work. I’d like to clear that up a bit for those who do not get it…. […]
Sunday is the start of what they call Freedom to Read Week. That’s freedom to read, not free to read. […]
Last week I focused my column on Town gossip. Should have known better because now I have to eat some crow. I said when councillors stopped a bus in a traffic circle in Edmonton so they could get off and take a close look they got stuck there until the bus driver got back. Well I was completely wrong on that one. … […]
There is a lot of gossip going around the community these days. Being retired I get to hear a lot of it and do my part to spread the juicier bits. This week I thought I’d share some thoughts on what people are talking about in town and what people maybe ought to be… […]
I started to talk about the penny a couple weeks ago, but I got side tracked thinking about all the other stuff they stopped making. With them starting to collect in all the pennies starting Monday, I’m wondering if it was the right decision… […]
So the Oscar nominees were announced last Thursday and it got me thinking about how much I like movies and how much I hate the Oscars, except for my brother Oscar whom I watch the Oscars with… […]
Come Feb. 4 the government is going to start keeping all the pennies that get turned into the banks and then they will be no more. Folks are talking that the nickel is going to be next. I hate to see the penny go, but it got me to thinking about all the other stuff we used to love that isn’t around now, at least not as much… […]
The Christmas season is a time to stop and remember the important traditions, including fruitcake. Sit again with your children or friends regardless of their age and watch a Christmas cartoon! Here are the ones I like… […]
Editor’s note: Joe has no theme this week, just a random list of his thoughts – thoughts that seldom seem to have an order or theme to them…. […]
Now that the weekend’s Light Up the Night Festival has officially kicked us into Christmas mode. It’s time for me to roll out my own Christmas wish list. I’m hoping Santa might be able to come through for me on a couple of them… […]
I keep hearing people asking this one and that one who Joe Morinville is. Is he a real person? People are saying Joe Morinville is really this guy or that guy. I’m me and if folks don’t stop it, you won’t have Joe Morinville to kick around any more. Let’s rule out the possibilities here, folks.
