Russell Williams embodies a woman’s worst fear. No one has been able to present any evidence that Williams was “off” or weird or anything but what he appeared to be; a successful, happily married man. …

KFC’s Double Down sandwich arrived in Canada yesterday.  Fast food lovers have been drooling at the border, hoping that this monolithic bread-free bunwich-without-the-bun would make it to our KFC’s soon.  They delivered a bagful yesterday and I took in a big sniff and then sent mine away while my colleagues sated their curiosity.  …

Not me, I’m doing alright, after a couple of days of rest and now just enduring a plain old head cold. No, it’s my laptop’s health that’s causing the most concern. …
