I can't understand why Singapore is so interested in my website, which is only a place to share my music and have a home for my company. My company's only client is the Canadian government, so I'm confused. Maybe they love my music.

A couple of days ago I posted a link to one of my music videos, but I posted a link to a version I put on Youtube. They compressed out the subtleties of the colours, so I deleted that one and here's a link to the good one: damaru.com/music/the-su...

It's interesting watching how people record themselves talking about politics or current events. Last year, everyone did it sitting in a car. These days, they're all holding little microphones.

What with the White House ballroom and tacky decorations, the cancelling of trans military pensions, ICE, extorting universities and all the rest of it, it feels to me like Trump is trying to engorge himself as quickly and voluminously as possible. Maybe he realizes it can't last forever, maybe not.

I can't help indulging in some schadenfreude. I believe Trump is in a state of deep paranoia that keeps him from being able to enjoy anything at all. I'm sure he's in a living hell.

I'm working right at this moment with a group of civil servants. We're getting a new application running that will allow people with disabilities to get a new benefit. I'm proud to be working to help fellow Canadians, and I must say the people at Economic, Social and Development Canada do work hard.

One thing I like about our new P.M. Mark Carney is that he's not in the news all the time. He doesn't care about the ratings. I suspect he might be a Buddhist.
