Mercoledi Musicale

A little late with the regular Wednesday music post but I had to work on this. In honour of my new found - okay imposed - devotion to temperance. Mary Lou Fallis sings an inspiring piece from the Methodist Hymnal 1912, which exhorts us to have the courage to say NO!

This number is taken from a wonderful collection called Primadonna on a Moose. Miss Fallis sings popular Canadian songs from 1840 to 1930 including Paddle Your Own Canoe, Oh What A Difference Since the Hydro Came and By the Banks of the Saskatchewan.

Adieu la vie.....no

Well that's it life as I know it is now officially over! I have just returned from a visit to Dr Sannino, the specialist I was seeing about my tummy problems over the past month or so. His diagnosis: for a man my age - God I want to slap someone when they say that - I am in good general health except for my grinding gut issues.

Here's his suggested treatment for the problem:

1. Go for long walks and get more exercise.
   I'm okay with that.
2. Get more fiber in my diet - fruit and vegetables.
   Love fruit, enjoy salads, cooked veggies - would rather leave them but...
3. Some minor procedures should be performed that will improve things and avoid future problems.
   I'm all for preventive medicine.
4. Stay away from soft drinks.
   Not a problem I've never really been a fan of pop - other than coke with my rum, which I don't drink anymore.
5. Avoid drinking wine.
   WTF

I think that pretty much explains my first statement!
