Come and Knock on Her Door
It began when a pal posted a Facebook event. And down the rabbit hole I went. I discovered that I share my fondness for a 1970’s TV icon with thousands of other people.

Billionaires Owe the World That Made Them
We like to watch old reruns of Shark Tank. For me, it’s not about seeing people become rich. It’s about people who need it getting a hand up from someone who has already been there, trying to make a dream come true. As we watch, I Google the company name and find out whether they are still in business, or what happened to them. But there’s an aspect of the show that I despise.

How to Have an Idiot-free Future
Happy Belated Canada Day and Fourth of July! Despite all of the grumblings and mumblings, we North Americans are indeed fortunate to live where we do. I like to say we won the geographical lottery. (If you don’t count winter!)

Run Towards the Danger
I’ve borrowed the title of Sarah Polley’s book for this post. I just finished reading it and give it five stars. It’s not a memoir, exactly. It’s a collection of essays about pivotal times in her life. (It was published last year, before she won the Oscar for Women Talking.)

Twitter Out of the Blue
I’ve never really been a “follow the crowd” type of woman. One look at my wardrobe in high school and you’ll see that was always true. I wore a “security sweater”, like The Peanuts’ Linus with his blanket. Sure, I also had a 1970’s fooler top (one piece that looks like two), platform shoes, and flared cords.
