I’m a lucky gal.  CFRB 1010 in Toronto offered me a half-hour on air with Ted Woloshyn on Saturday to talk about my ebook so I jumped on it like a chipmunk on a nut in winter. …

This was on Facebook this week. It pretty much sums things up about this nutty world and the collection of nutty people who inhabit it. Â Apparently I’m not the only one with a Martian exploration obsession who loves a little sarcasm. …

Our Free-FM colleague Pasqualina brought in some peanut butter balls the other day. Â I thought I’d died and gone to protein heaven. Â So I asked for the recipe. It’s from the Oxygen Network. I use about 1/2 the honey it calls for (as does she) and I don’t add the chocolate chips at all and they’re delicious. Â The trouble is with trying to eat just one. Â …
