Family Day!
It’s Family Day, a statutory holiday that seems to be doing, for me at least, what it was designed to – give us a happy long weekend in the dead of a crummy winter! Enjoy! …

When is it Just Stealing?
The voice-over community is an active and idea-sharing one, like the goat-hair knitting community and everyone else with a particular interest that gather on social media. And it’s clear that everyone has their own line they won’t cross for a buck. Â …

50 Shades of Controversy
I won’t see the movie Fifty Shades of Grey because I have no interest in it. I almost made it to the third chapter of the first book in the series but gave up in frustration over the terrible writing and the unrealistic story line. …

Disappointment All Around
The Bishop of the Catholic diocese of London is “profoundly disappointed” in the Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn a ban on doctor assisted death in cases of terminal illness. I am profoundly disappointed in anyone who’s profoundly disappointed in this decision. …

Oh Baby
A Tampa, Florida woman didn’t know she was pregnant until her third trimester. The baby was a record weight for the hospital: 14.1 lbs. …
Coming Clean
NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams apologized this week for a lie he’s been telling for more than a dozen years. He says he “misremembered” the incident in Iraq when he and his news team came under enemy fire and their chopper was forced down and protected by a platoon. Â …
Guts and Glitter
I wish I had the guts. The glitter bomb is the latest thing to go crazy on the Internet and it is simply the perfect method for getting revenge. …
Maybe They Thought We Knew
Have you been to a movie theatre lately? We prefer to go the VIP theatre route. Although it’s more expensive it’s also much more comfortable and people tend to behave better, overall. Even though there’s bar service, we haven’t had any candy-bag-rattlers, screen back-talkers or other disruptions while in VIP. …

Go Sports!
There’s a terrific episode of The Big Bang Theory where Penny allows Leonard to come over and watch football with her and her friends. Leonard, in case you don’t know, is a brilliant scientist who knows nothing about football, baseball, golf, rugby, hockey, cricket or probably even speed walking. He’s a geek. So he ruins the game by spouting general facts he learned from Wikipedia after plays are made. It’s a turnabout on sexual stereotypes and it’s funny. …
I Am Charlie
When I was a kid, I went through a worrier phase. I was anxious about another ice age after reading an article written by a scientist who predicted one. I fretted over the possibility of pandemics (although I didn’t know the word) and grew concerned over just about anything in the news that was out of my control. I remember talking to my Dad about whether there could be another world war and I clearly remember him saying the biggest threat in the future will be terrorists. …
My Last Comment on Cosby (Unless He’s In the News and I Can’t Avoid It)
It came to me after I posted a tweet and it started a long and thoughtful conversation between many men on Facebook. (My tweets automatically post to Facebook in a two-for -one social media update.) The tweet read, “Dear world at large, if 25+ people come forward accusing me of virtually the same heinous thing, feel free to judge me without a court case.” …

Reality Bites in my (Ample) Butt!
Yeah, it’s that time. New year, new start. No more candy or junk food within my sight, please. It’s time to get to know more vegetables and reacquaint myself with the treadmill again, for more than just airing out clothing! …
