The Wedding of The Year!
The only daughter of our very dear friends got married on the weekend. This event has been long in the planning and heavy in anticipation. And it was a very special, wonderful day. Â Â …

My Husband, The Thespian
It was a quiet and low-key weekend around the house as hubby prepared to take on a marathon week. …
Sunday/Monday (Family Day) Posting: Rival Sons
Gone are the days when I can sit or stand in a packed club and wait until 11 pm for the headliner to get on stage. So it was especially amazing that the Long Beach, California band, Rival Sons, visited Free-FM for an in-studio interview/acoustic performance on Saturday afternoon, the day of their sold-out show at Norma Jean’s. …

This week we talked on air about things that bug us when we share a bathroom with our significant other. Â …
The End of MOvember
Partway through the month, as Movember group the Swollen Glands continued to grow their moustaches and raise money for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health, Blair said, “If we get to $3500 in donations I’ll have a moustache waxed into my chest hair!” …
Please, Fence Me In
Yes it’s hot. Yes it’s very humid.  But on holiday Monday we started a project that has turned into what every simple project around the home turns into: a much BIGGER project. …
Living Life’s Width
I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.

On With The Show!
CTV in Kitchener came out and did a live broadcast from the show, as it was being set up. Meteorologist Ross Hull did his weather stuff while sitting on or standing near various bikes and he interviewed Derek, who tried to bribe him to bring good weather for the weekend! …

Not everyone is horrified by the name, alone, of the city’s new baseball team. Â …
How’s It Going, Baby?
It was one of those situations that was funny to everyone else but me. Â Oh I see the humour in it but at the moment it happened and immediately afterward, I wasn’t laughing. Â In fact, it’s such a touchy subject that I have waffled for several days about whether to even blog about it. Â But here goes: …
Burying the Lead
The subject line refers to a news cliche of hiding your best story. Â Say your cousin comes to visit and talks all evening about his ant-farming hobby. Â Then as he’s just about to leave he says, “Oh and by the way, I won $11 million in the lottery.” Â That would be burying the lead. Â …
This and Tats
I got into my car yesterday just in time to hear a caller on Jeff McArthur’s talk show (am 980) explain to Jeff how distrusting a person with tattoos “on sight” wasn’t discriminatory. …
So Much to be Thankful For on my Birthday
Our pal Peter Mennie is a really great magician but even he can’t turn a milk frothing machine into a sweet pair of boots! …
