Just For Today
Let’s not be judgmental about John Travolta and Kelly Preston and their choice of faith, Scientology. Let’s actually be the tolerant, accepting society that we claim to be, ok? …

It’s not just a European phenomenon after all. …
Flabuless
Remind me never to say I’ve seen it all. Because something new always comes along that you can never predict. The newest thing is called Flabuless. …

House Proud – Vive Le Salle de Bain! Toronto Sun
Who would have thought that my trip to Europe would leave me coveting a couple of commercial bathroom gizmos that haven’t been seen in real-life operation in this part of the world? At least, they’ve never been seen by me or any of the envious friends with whom I’ve shared stories of these washroom wonders. There’s real disappointment in knowing I can’t have them for my own home – at least not yet. …

It has happened twice so far this holiday season, and because I have to head out briefly again today, I want to make sure no one is third time lucky. …
House Proud: Gifts People Actually Use – Toronto Sun
As my beloved and I merged our households into one, I encountered the precious space of an entire kitchen shelf stacked full of gift mugs.
