Yesterday, according to the internet – which is never wrong, correct? – was Booty Appreciation Day. A moment of silence, please, while we all absorb that riveting information. Strangely, Booty Appreciation Day is immediately followed by International Women’s Day – so happy girl power to all of us! Fish on bicycles, women’s work is never […]

This weekend was our neighbourhood’s annual outdoor party, complete with skating, tobogganing, and barbeque, and by some incredible good fortune, the weather was very mild, making it a perfect day.

Ooh, I hate that song, along with most Alice Cooper songs – although I do think that Alice Cooper, himself, seems like a very cool guy, as far as celebrities go. While I’m on the topic, I also hate the musical stylings of Tom Petty and that atrocious Kim Mitchell, I Am A Wild Party […]
