Erdös got an honourary degree from Waterloo and spoke at my graduation. I remember how he started .... “I flew from Hungary, to the USA, to Waterloo, and after this I'm going to California, then Japan, then back to Hungary ... so I'm going 360 degrees around the world to get one degree.

Apologies if anything weird shows up here, I'm trying to move my blog over to micro.blog (from a hosted wordpress instance that was too complex for my increasingly aging brain) and am confused about the integration between it and mastodon.

note, I get it, Bud is Belgian these days, and so is Labatt's. At least think about what you're buying. Try a local beer. Cameron's, here in Oakville, is pretty good.

My fellow Canadians, let's lay off the American beer brands for a while. Yes, I know our big 'domestic' breweries are owned by multinationals but you could at least quit buying Budweiser and Coors.

Cathy and I have invented "Pairs Sudoku", where you have to alternate filling in the squares in the Globe and Mail puzzle without saying anything about your strategy and I hope this doesn't spiral out of control.

I was on a cruise ship 12 hours ago. Am now back home and shoveling snow. I'm kind of happy.
