At the Risk of Offending People…
Something about the way some folks are using Twitter is driving me a little insane. I can’t stand it! And I fully acknowledge that my reaction is a bit over the top but it really, really bugs me. …

High Flying
Reading a collection of dumb things people have done while flying – flooding the bathroom while trying to take a sponge-bath, getting too, um, familiar with themselves under blankets and getting too familiar with others, again in the bathroom – reminded me of what flying used to be like. …

Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad
So it’s Monday and perhaps you hit the keyboard needing to get several things done ASAP. Wouldn’t it be great if you could truly multi-task and really do a bunch of things at the same time? New research on the brain says fuggetaboutit. It concludes that we’re wired to juggle two things or make a choice between two things but the brain goes haywire if you throw in a third. …

The Path Not Taken; The Money Not Won
We all like to think we would be sensible if we won the lottery and – if I may speak for you – I think we would! But I read this little item from a newsletter and it just reminded me that sometimes some of us are not meant to experience certain things, and what can happen when something considered good goes very bad when it lands in the wrong hands. Who knows what changes would come with a sudden win of millions? Sure, we’d all probably like to find out but not everyone can handle it. …

Snacking Emergency
It’s not my proudest memory. Back when I was working at CKNX radio in Wingham management brought in a smoking ban. I smoked then. I smoked when I wasn’t even actually smoking, that’s how devoted I was to the habit. I protested the ban saying it would lead to – and this is embarrassing – dizzy spells and feeling ill because I wasn’t getting my regular infusion of nicotine. I wish I was kidding. That was my defence and I lost, rightly. (My apologies to then-GM Al Skelton for the time I wasted being such an idiot!) …
