June was Celibacy Month. Â Blair and I made a bet on The Big Show back then to see who could go the longest without, you know. Like Ray Romano on Everybody Loves Raymond, I declaredmyself a “sex camel”. I was probably going to win – but Blair didn’t even last one night! Â …
I’m tickled to be a guest on the upcoming season of The Book Nook With Sarah on Rogers TV here in London. Sarah Hilton is a pro from the word go. She is a speaking coach and motivational speaker and taping the show with her was delightful. I don’t know the air date yet but she has already done something else that’s terrific to promote local authors. …

I could not believe the selfishness of some parents at the Royal Tyrrell Museum last week, and it must occur at all public spaces. Â There’s nothing wrong with schlepping little junior through in a stroller, but does it have to be the Hummer of strollers? Â …

I’m giddy at the thought of tonight. I’ve been very lucky to be able to meet so many of the musical heroes of my youth. Â And one of them is coming to London to perform at the 10th annual Rock the Park and because Free-FM is presenting tonight’s entertainment, there’s a very good chance I’ll get to spend a little time fumbling for words in front of him! Â …

Saturday’s balloon ride required us to get up around 4:30 am so we could make it to the other end of the city for 5:30 am. Â This wasn’t too far from our regular weekday routine except that we couldn’t have much coffee because we didn’t want to go up with full bladders. Â By the time we made it back to our vehicle it was about 9:30 am. Â …

Smoking is bad for your health. We all know that. It’s gross to be around.  But my complaint about it has to do with some of the people  in my neighbourhood who have the habit whose smoke I never smell. And please keep in mind that the problem is exaggerated for entertainment purposes! I’m not out picking up garbage every day. But when I am, it’s related to smokers. …
