…My fashion sense – if I ever had any – has abandoned me.
…It’s been my goal to write fiction. Now, finally, my first fiction work is out.
…Derek and I ran a few daytime errands together a couple of weeks ago. It was a rare moment when neither of us was busy with work. He needed a specific power cord for his motorcycle. And there was a sweet deal on Google Pixel 7 phones that we’d been waiting for at the Rogers store.
…In this corner, the theory that humans are not meant to work from home. That it can be bad for our mental health and lead to social isolation, a lack of exercise, and unhealthy eating habits. Psychologists warn that it’s not a good way for young people to begin their working lives.

…One of my most vivid memories from my first trip to Hollywood years ago, was Marilyn Monroe’s refrigerator in The Hollywood Museum.
…I feel like a new butterfly, wriggling out of my covering after hanging upside down as a pupa for a long time. Allow me to explain.
…Sometime last year, or was it the year before? A fellow writer and former broadcaster sent me a message on Facebook. It was something to the effect of, I read your latest book and I liked it but it needs more information about social media.
…Here’s a bit of what you can expect on Episode 5 of our podcast, out now. Thanks so much for listening and subscribing.
