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. …

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. …
The only thing this part of the province is missing, whose addition would make it an absolutely perfect place to live, is an Ikea. …

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. …

So much for my empathy with those who suffer regularly with migraines. Oh I have empathy, for sure, but I apparently don’t really know what a migraine sufferer goes through after all. …

In Hamilton, it was the couple whose lawn was blanketed with every kitchy, tacky piece of plastic and ceramic ever sold as an ornament. It all lit up at night as if it was Christmas at the Dollar Store. …
