Flying Objects
This morning we have killed three spiders, removed two ladybugs and lost sight of a third and it’s not even 7:30. …
Personal Life
A Poem for the Day
I have a cold, it’s no big deal
It won’t kill me to miss a meal
Or lay around like I’m a sloth
Wrapped in a hundred miles of cloth
Drinking tea and taking pills
Heating up then getting chills
This day has more important issues
Than my growing pile of tissues
So wash your hands and save your sorrow
I’ll be much better by tomorrow!

A Doctor Can Know You Too Well!
This week, I had an afternoon appointment with a specialist in Hamilton. It’s an annual thing, totally routine but necessary, and I haven’t even considered trying to replace this particular doctor even though I now live 90 minutes away, in London. …

It’s my birthday. (Your good wishes accepted, thank you!) So I’m taking the day off to eat birthday cake! Can’t eat and type (and think!) at the same time….

A Ride For Kids’ Sake
 On Saturday I’ll be going on my first charity motorcycle ride alone. Bernice, my bike, has never been on one of these rides that involved hundreds of bikes and I”ve only gone on them on the back of Derek’s Harley. …

I know you’re busy, but…
Yesterday we met some friends for brunch. This couple and their kids join us once a month or so and we love the little guys and their adorable antics. The older lad is a mini-me to Dad and he usually quips something memorable. The smaller guy is quieter but adorable to watch. They give us a kid fix while we get a rare chance to visit with busy Mom and Dad. …

My “Grateful” List
The other day, just for fun, I started making a list of the things I’m grateful for about working at 1039FM compared to my old life, at 680 News. …

Keeping Abreast of Things
I recently had an experience with a women’s undergarment that I feel I need to share, in the interest of preventing a similar circumstance for my fellow femmes.  This gets a little graphic so try not to blush!

Wardrobe Amnesia
Back when I was waking up at the crack of stupid I put this phenomenon down to a lack of sleep. But even though I’m getting better rest and living along with most of the rest of the world, I still have it: A difficult time remembering what I’ve recently worn! …
Ol’ Teller, Come Back Teller
I blame myself and others like me. My fondness for using the ATM helped this situation develop. And now it’s too late to go back. …

Up From The Farm
We recently dropped by the Farmer’s Market at the Western Fair. The only reason we hadn’t been to it before, is because we didn’t know it existed and that’s apparently a common thing in this area. …
Ikea, I Miss You!
The only thing this part of the province is missing, whose addition would make it an absolutely perfect place to live, is an Ikea. …

Open Mouthers
It’s well known among my friends and ex-colleagues that I don’t like yawning in my presence. I’ve blogged about this before – some of the new staff at 680 News were told yawning was “banned” around me! That’s ridiculous. I only asked that people try to refrain! And as the new kid at my current radio station, I haven’t peeped a word about it and try valiantly to avert my eyes at the first tell-tale signs of a coming yawn. …

I enter the flower shop as two women are at work behind the counter, one trimming stems and one filling out papers. …
