The foot that required a boot late last year is healed. My rotator cuff is stronger now from physiotherapy, massage therapy and daily exercises. Now if I can just get my hip to cooperate fully after a muscle pull, I’ll feel confident about swinging a leg over B3 when the weather allows it. …

Last Saturday morning was a worrisome time in the house of Spice the wonder-cat. He wouldn’t eat or move and our social little critter wasn’t interested in us. The vet’s office got us in for 10:40 am and although my brother-in-law was here to assist, I had no trouble pouring our beloved feline into his carrier. He had no fight in him. …

There’s a terrific episode of The Big Bang Theory where Penny allows Leonard to come over and watch football with her and her friends. Leonard, in case you don’t know, is a brilliant scientist who knows nothing about football, baseball, golf, rugby, hockey, cricket or probably even speed walking. He’s a geek. So he ruins the game by spouting general facts he learned from Wikipedia after plays are made. It’s a turnabout on sexual stereotypes and it’s funny. …
My Big Show cohost Blair and his girlfriend Laura recently bought their first house. It was Laura’s birthday so they combined that with a housewarming on the weekend and we got our first peek inside. It’s a gorgeous little place, all finished inside and decorated with Laura’s excellent taste. It’s located in a sought-after part of the city, too. They did very well. …
