Too Many Tasks
I know I’ve taken on too much when on a precious Sunday – a “free” day – I just feel the need to stay home and catch up on chores. …
Black and White Issues
I felt a bit hard-hearted over a couple of my reactions to news items yesterday but they’re how I genuinely feel. People are fallible and they make mistakes but they have to accept responsibility or they’re living in dream worlds. …

They Go in Threes
Those of us with a sense of the macabre developed as a shield to survive the cold environs of a radio newsroom wondered yesterday, who would be next? …

The Eve of the Era of Adam
American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is planning a fall debut album. But a company he did some earlier pre-Idol recording for, now says it will release those songs as Lambert’s first album in the summer and Adam is freaking out, to put it mildly. It’s the same as if a sleazy photographer came forward with cheap-o nude shots of a Hollywood starlet just before her tastefully done photo layout in Vanity Fair hits newsstands. It happens.

Oil and Me
One of the aspects about motorcycle ownership that one must know a bit about is bike maintenance. …
One Size Does Not Fit All – House Proud, The Toronto Sun
It’s taken many years for most interior designers to come to a general agreement on decorating rules. As with everything else in life, one size does not fit all. The guidelines work well in most cases but there are always exceptions. Sometimes rules are meant to be bent and broken and that’s what I’m aiming to do today. …

An Ugly Split
I’ve never understood how anyone could want to destroy someone they were once married to. By the same token, I’ve never really understood how they can stay close friends, either, but that’s a blog for another day.

The Joys of Listening to Listeners!
I like to talk to our station’s listeners. I answer the phone and I try to answer their questions although I do plead the fifth if something might not reflect well on the station. For example, they don’t need to know the nuts and bolts about music rotation and that kind of thing. Those details would just seem a little insane to someone outside of the business, even though there are legitimate reasons for why we do what we do the way we do it! …

A Silly Sorry
Federal Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt was forced, some say by the Prime Minister’s Office, to say she was sorry for calling the scarcity of medical isotopes a “sexy” situation for her ministry. What a load of hooey. I don’t think she had anything to apologize for. …
Alive and Kicking
The CRTC has released final 2008 revenue figures for Canadian commercial radio and those who say the genre is dead or dying can suck on this for a while! …

Half-Pint Tells All
Most former child stars who reveal the sordid details of their personal lives don’t grab my interest. Exceptions have been Danny Bonaduce (Danny Partridge) and Maureen McCormick (Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!). But I had loved, lived and breathed both The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch in their days. (Don’t judge me! I was a kid and as we all know, kids have no taste!) And now toss on the pile Little House on the Prairie’s Melissa Gilbert (Laura Ingalls Wilder) who has written a new book called Prairie Tale. …
