I think Gill may need her own blog at this point. She just sent this in to wish herself a happy birthday. Happy birthday from us here, too. In ancient times 34 was similar to that of 100 today, meaning it was a rare milestone, and few reached it. Flash forward to the world of …

Who Inspires You
Gill has decided to write yet another guest post. I like guest posts because they can sometimes offer different perspectives on things we’ve covered or explore topics we would neverhave thought about on our own, which is great. More voices is a good thing, as I like to say. I also like them because they …

The Lie Detecting Robot
A father buys a lie detector robot that’s programmed to slap people when they lie. He decides to test it out on his son at supper that night. “Where were you last night,” he asks. “I was at the library.” *slap* “OK, OK,” the boy says, rubbing his arm. “I was at Jerry’s house.” “Doing …
Discomforting Words
It appears that Gill enjoyed guest posting so much last week that she’s decided to do it again. You can all feel free to do the same if you’ve got something you feel needs saying. Just remember, we post these as is. What do curdle, moist, and poke have in common? Not much if you …
Blind Out Of The Box
Yesterday I reminded everyone that we’re happy to take guest posts, and this morning I got another one. It’s from Gill, and it’s a wee little reminder to sighted people that blind folks do, in fact, have lives, and a bit of encouragement to the blind folks who haven’t quite figured that out yet. Remember, …
The Best Profile Of Ryan Freel You Will Probably Ever Read
After I posted the what it’s like when a hockey player is traded article last week, I got a tweet telling me that I should read this Brett Popplewell profile piece on Ryan Freel. If you don’t remember who Ryan Freel is, don’t feel bad. You’re not alone. His name hadn’t crossed my mind since …

No! No! Not Again!
Brother Brad unexpectedly dropped this into my inbox this afternoon. Guest posts like these are always welcomed, especially on days like today where I spend a bunch of the afternoon getting the newly cracked pipe under our kitchen sink fixed and then cleaning up after it. If ever you get the urge to send us …
One Of Those Awkward Questions
Eric is sitting at the bar staring morosely into his beer. Tom walks in, sits down and asks him what the problem is. “Well,” said Eric, “I ran afoul of one of those awkward questions women ask. Now I’m in deep trouble at home.” “What kind of question?” asked Tom. “My wife asked me if …
