I went on one of the Jane’s Walks in Vancouver (Canada), and it was excellent. He talked about the development of a small corner of my neighbourhood. The reason that parts of East Van are a hodge podge of house […]

THAT is the most awesome thing I’ve seen ALL WEEK. Thank you.

I’m so glad this motion got  the smack down, but while there are not the legal prohibitions of abortion, there are still serious accessibility issues for women who don’t live in urban areas (and also are […]

I bike to work everyday, and I love it. I am healthier, happier and richer because of it!

My suggestions:

1. Yes, you can bike in the rain. Just dress for it, wear a beanie type toque under your helmet and […]

My favourite doctor is my optometrist (true!). I had terrible, terrible eyesight for years, and a few years ago I had laser eye surgery (amazing, by the way). The first time I went it to have my drivers license […]

It’s curious, because according to the lyrics that I found on the infallible internet, first they’re in the back, and THEN on their back.

But you are right. The important thing is to be dancing!

high five, that is awesome!

I couldn’t figure out what they were singing, so I looked up the lyrics, and here I share. I think it means “don’t have sex, dance instead”. Right? because what are you doing on your back? (third chorus).  I may […]

I hate bananas with any HINT of green. I wait for them to ripen, and, you guessed, get a little brown (on the skin).

1. I hate, hate, hate all bell peppers. Red, Yellow or Green, I’m getting uncomfortbale just TYPING about them. Ugh. Hate them (I experimented with vegetarianism in my early 20s, but do you KNOW how HARD it is to […]

Mayo on fries, while perhaps not healthy, is AWESOME.

As is curried ketchup. mmmmmmmm.

I’ve been running ALOT lately, because I’m training for a local half-marathon (my first!). It’s been so interesting to first watch me go from 5km to 16 (so far), and to realize that I DO have the strength to do […]

Millie, I’d like to nominate you to write an article about the cuts to the CBC, and the announcement about Espace Radio and Radio Two yesterday.  I’ve really been impressed with what they’ve done with digital […]

I was pleased when they didn’t elect a Layton-lite. What’s the point? Also that Libby, who is SO well respected continues to be Deputy.

And gads, can we PLEASE get rid of Harper? The arrogance, the […]

Then go forth and conquer. Be strong, be cool, and be righteous!

and I’m eager to find out how it goes, remember!

That truly sucks.

This is a time when I think it’s totally okay to delegate the sharing of news to other people. When my mother died, by father delegated me to tell the neighbours. I told one, and then asked […]

Good luck!

I’m a big fan of sticking to one message “you don’t follow through, that’s why I’m leaving” and repeating if necessary. Don’t get sucked into an argument “as I said, you don’t follow […]

We ought to be able to drink twice as much when we’re forty! so unfair. Happy Birthday!!

Octavia Butler is all kinds of awesome (she wrote the Liliths Brood Series, but her collection of short stories “BloodChild” is also excellent.

And times two to the Atwood suggestions. Her writing is spectacular.

Of course we do!

WHen you say girl, do you mean under 12 years old? I love seeing kids dressed up as whatever they want. I saw a four year old spider man last week. Not halloween of anything, he just […]
