Remember your friend’s wedding?  Of course you don’t.  You drank so much that the bartender started pre-mixing your cocktail as soon as he spied your lumbering carcass weaving vaguely forward on its umpteenth trip back to Plasterville. That night may be a haze, but you’ve never forgotten the consequences: that person that you slept with — the [...]

You know that person in your life that you kind of know, or know well but dislike, perhaps even hate?  Eventually they’ll get married or have a birthday or something and you’ll be obligated to give them a gift. Make sure that gift gives the right message: “I had to get you something.  Here it is. [...]

Some days, like today, my tweets all run along a similar theme.  Today: tunes. Nice to hear that Mr. Gwen Stefani has a new single out. I guess life can be boring when you’re arm candy for a major pop star. I still miss Ronnie James Dio, the 20th/21st century’s foremost lyrical humourist. Also a [...]

I hope yours was happier than mine, anyway.  The morning was  good, certainly.  Government Museums in Ottawa had free admission today, so my family and I visited the Canada Science and Technology Museum and the Canada Agriculture Museum.
