Does whatever a spider can...

I saw an ad online for a casino; telling about the wonderful blackjack and roulette one could play - that part, I get. But the image illustrating the ad was Spider-Man swinging on his webs.

I don't get the connection. Spidey isn't a gambler - not since Amazing Fantasy #15, anyway.

It amuses me nonetheless.

Long happy day...

Last night I was planning to clean my kitchen and sort out my cupboards before going to bed - a big burst of spring cleaning energy. My plan was to go to bed early, get up early, and go for a walk by the Rideau River, as I did yesterday with Lynne. It was about 7 km - four miles and a bit.

Then while cleaning, I knocked something over and it hit the full glass bottle of olive oil in my cupboard, which fell onto my floor and shattered. So much for getting to bed early. It took me ages to pick up all the little shards and scrub the oil off the floor. And then scrub it again.

Ugh.

But then I woke up feeling alert at 6:30, and thought: okay, I'll go for my walk anyway. And I did. ( It was... )
