Gill has written in again, but this time not with anything nearly as out there or controversial as last time. This time she’s talking about names. I’m not sure I entirely understand what her point is, but I also have a headache that’s making me feel a little dizzy and unfocussed this morning, so maybe …

Pop Quiz! Who Said The Stupid Thing: Rob Ford Or Mayor Quimby
Michelle sent me another great Rob Ford link. I hope you’ve got your thinking caps on for this one. Since entering public service as a city councilor in 2000, Ford has been known for his odd and improper public behavior and comments, a habit that only got worse after he was elected mayor in 2010. …

Rob Ford: So Much More Than Just An Admited Crack Smoker
So Rob Ford, after lying for as long as possible like he always does, admitted today that yes, he has indeed smoked crack. Naturally this has Twitter going insane, and it’s starting to confuse the Americans. A while ago I sent out a tweet asking CFRB to please stop calling it “shocking” that Rob Ford …

What Are You Fighting For
Here’s another guest submission from Gill. this one’s a touch pessimistic and unhinged for my taste, but I don’t have to necessarily endorse something in order to post it. Diversity of voices and all that. So take it away, Gill. And don’t be surprised if this one opens you up to a bit of slow …
We’ve Lived In Kitchener For A year. Oh, And Metropolitan Movers Is Still Amazingly Terrible
Today marks a year since Carin and I moved to Kitchener from guelph. I’m not sure where all that time went, but here we are. We’re doing well and really starting to like it here. We’re constantly learning more and more useful things about how to get around these 3 cities that somebody decided should …
A Trixter Update
Another guest post, this time from Brother Brad who wrote in to let everyone know how Trixie is doing. It has been a while since I wrote about everyone’s favourite retired guide dog, Trixie. Rest assured, I sincerely apologize for this great injustice, and will now grace you with such a post. It is hard …
Parental Quirks
It’s time for another guest post from Gill. At this rate, she’s going to have more posts here than I do. They are the givers of life, love, food, money, advice, discipline. We admire them when we are small, cringe at those embarrassing things they do when we are teenagers, and maybe laugh at it …
They’re Coming! They’re Coming!
I’m imagining a time in the not so distant future when I accidentally introduce something I’ve written myself as if Gill wrote it. This is not yet that time, because this is yet another contribution from her. On this date in 1938 the masses gathered around their radios, for the usual Sunday night after dinner …
So I Had My Eyes Ultrasounded Yesterday
My eye ultrasound was yesterday, and since you’re reading this so soon, it means I didn’t die or get seriously maimed during the process. Yay! I was a little worried about things in the days leading up to it just because I didn’t know what to expect. I can handle different types of doctor induced …
Decoding A Childhood Story
Once again, here’s Gill with a guest post. I think I’m going to start calling her Guest Posting Gill. Do you ever remember hearing the story of the ugly duckling and the beautiful swan? Have you ever actually sat down and thought about what true beauty is? Lets take the ugly duckling for instance. Ugly …
