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. …

The doorbell rang and I tossed off my warm throw and skittered to answer it hoping it was a family member dropping by. …

A couple of weekends ago I was so taken by a product on a commercial that I immediately went to the website and ordered it. After all it’s “not available in stores” and the special bonus is on for a “limited time only”! …
When the best in the game go toe to toe, or in this case pedal-to-pedal, you have to respect them for attaining that level of expertise. The hours of training, the sacrifices, the … ability of their parents to get them to the big match on time! …

I’m really disturbed by the slew of stories about gay men being horribly mistreated. I don’t understand anyone who believes that someone else’s sexuality has anything to do with them or their “way of life”. Gay people have always been around, folks, just like having babies out of wedlock and dating outside of one’s culture of origin. …
Last week a rep from Leclerc Cookies of Quebec dropped by the radio stations and left a huge box of little bags of their “healthy” Praeventia cookies to be distributed among staff. The term “healthy cookie” strikes me as an oxymoron, like “effective council” or “fun meeting”. …

The decision is in at the trial I wrote about late last month. A Connecticut Mom and her two daughters were tortured and killed in home invasion and the defence tried everything to make the monster who did it seem sympthetic. …
I’m having an over-the-top reaction to what I assume is a pretty inoffensive commercial in most peoples’ eyes. Sure, I’m mildly turned off by the cartoon bear that gets bits of bathroom tissue on its bum. I also frown at the cough medicine spot that proudly boasts it combats PHLEGM and graphically depicts the stuff ejecting from a guy’s gullet! But the absolute worst has to be the McDonald’s zesty mango sauce spot featuring the gospel-style singers. …
The forecast said showers were possible but they would quickly give way to a mix of sun and cloud. Ha! Double Ha! I pulled out of the driveway in pouring rain yesterday morning, dressed in a way I thought was proper. I wore my complete rainsuit over my jeans, shirt, hoodie and leather jacket and attached the neck guard to my helmet for a bit of extra protection. …
