When the best in the game go toe to toe, or in this case pedal-to-pedal, you have to respect them for attaining that level of expertise. The hours of training, the sacrifices, the … ability of their parents to get them to the big match on time! …
Two of my sisters-in-law celebrate birthdays very close to mine so we do a little family birthday thing as part of Thanksgiving. …
The Devil Wears Prada had a strong influence on me. Author Lauren Weisberger’s snappy, exciting writing inspired me to tackle fiction. The Devil Wears Prada, as you probably know, became a hit movie starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. It’s clever, sharp and its characters crackle with life. …
I’m really disturbed by the slew of stories about gay men being horribly mistreated. I don’t understand anyone who believes that someone else’s sexuality has anything to do with them or their “way of life”. Gay people have always been around, folks, just like having babies out of wedlock and dating outside of one’s culture of origin. …
Last week a rep from Leclerc Cookies of Quebec dropped by the radio stations and left a huge box of little bags of their “healthy” Praeventia cookies to be distributed among staff. The term “healthy cookie” strikes me as an oxymoron, like “effective council” or “fun meeting”. …

I’m having an over-the-top reaction to what I assume is a pretty inoffensive commercial in most peoples’ eyes. Sure, I’m mildly turned off by the cartoon bear that gets bits of bathroom tissue on its bum. I also frown at the cough medicine spot that proudly boasts it combats PHLEGM and graphically depicts the stuff ejecting from a guy’s gullet! But the absolute worst has to be the McDonald’s zesty mango sauce spot featuring the gospel-style singers. …
The forecast said showers were possible but they would quickly give way to a mix of sun and cloud. Ha! Double Ha! I pulled out of the driveway in pouring rain yesterday morning, dressed in a way I thought was proper. I wore my complete rainsuit over my jeans, shirt, hoodie and leather jacket and attached the neck guard to my helmet for a bit of extra protection. …
The first annual Bikers for Brains ride goes today. Funds raised support the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada.

I don’t pretend for a minute to be an expert about car racing but in the year that I worked for Delaware Speedway, I learned a heck of a lot about it. …
A party took place on my tongue this week when it was reintroduced to Panda licorice. …
