So. The day after I post a story about my over-reaction to a water main break on my street, the earthquake and related chaos and possible nuclear meltdown occurs in Japan. I feel like an asshole. How do you talk to your children about such things? Mine are at an awkward age where they are […]
I once had a poster of a fish riding a bicycle.

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.

I wanted to write about something really funny today – there was a cougar sighting in the city! The resulting news stories have been hilarious: cougar spotted, if you should see a cougar you should be cautious and back away slowly. Did the cougar have botox, one might wonder. A fake orange tan? Did the […]
School’s Out For Summer!

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 […]
