[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWlGsP1MHiIThe one aspect I probably really hate about winter is the fact that I leave my house when it’s still dark and only return when it’s dark again. I can deal with the cold (after all, that’s what wool is for), I can deal with fewer days of sunshine and I can deal with my…
About once a year I find myself the victim of a character crush. In the past I’ve fallen for such notables as Spock from Star Trek and Luke from Star Wars. When it happens, it comes on me suddenly and it normally requires a perfect set of ingredients. My personal recipe is: Must not be…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCya1yiFFP4I heard this song on the radio during a recent train journey and was impressed enough to note down the singer (whose name the presenter mentioned, thankfully). I looked it up (thank you, YouTube!) and like it more and more.
Around this time of year, I start thinking of my favorite foods. There are plenty, but there are two desserts that I associate with Thanksgiving and Christmas. One of them is a dried apple cake.

While I am in good health, accidents or the unexpected can occur. I had a caregiver in mind, but circumstances have changed.
I’m in the field of education. And I live in Toronto, one of the most multicultural cities in North America. Those two qualities together means that Halloween is, rightly or not, a pretty touchy topic. And I know Toronto, and education, are not alone in this regard. Popular stereotype usually only has orthodox Christians opposing…
Yet another of my favourite Monty Python sketches. Enjoy! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1IJiAXjj7k – Jean AAR
Jessica Simpson is causing a stir. And no, it is not speculation about her baby bump although you can read about that almost every day. What Jessica did was post a picture via Twitter of her in the bathroom. It was supposed to be a cutesy photograph, illustrating how short people have issues with high…
