Throwback Thursday – Aislin’s Still Nailin’ It
Aislin aka Terry Mosher, based in Montreal, is one of Canada’s best-known and most respected political cartoonists. And I was fortunate enough to work with him years ago, although “with” is a relative term. …

Throwback Thursday – Eight Years On
It’s been eight years since I made a permanent move back to London from Toronto. Eight. I hope that by repeating it, it will sink in as real because it’s a big number for what feels like a short amount of time. …

Throwback Thursday – I (Don’t) Remember When
An old friend from the Wingham/CKNX days posted an old photo of me on Facebook last weekend. Usually, I can tell by the hairstyle – or my hair’s lack of style – what year it was. I’m pretty sure this was taken early on in my four-year stint at ‘NX. But I’m not certain. …

Throwback Thursday – Me Lisa, She Jane
While we’re on vacation, I’m rerunning some of my favourite blog posts.Â
I guess I never did receive a photo from the time I met Jane Fonda because I have looked everywhere and asked everyone I can think of with no luck. But I did meet her and had a delightful chat, backstage after she gave a talk at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, for which I had a front row seat. …

Throwback Thursday – Wilma and Betty Do Bayfield
You know those times you lost your mind with laughter and had a difficult time stopping? That happened on the Main Street in Bayfield six years ago with my friend Laurie. Passersby must have thought we were drunk in the middle of the day, bent over laughing with tears running down our faces for no apparent reason. …

Throwback Thursday – Mom P.I.
When you live in the country, you watch out for your neighbours. You get to know each other’s routines and you keep an eye out for anything strange. Growing up outside of Smithville, Ontario, we saw it all. Teenagers dropping cases of beer in the reeds near our front pond for safe keeping. A neighbour’s kid, ploughing his car through our flock of ducks as they attempted to cross the road. Trespassing hunters from the city, wandering through our fields and woods, guns loaded, looking for deer. …

Throwback Thursday – Orange Man
If you’re lucky enough to work at a good place, you develop a sort of short-hand with your colleagues based on your experiences. You might also get involved in some silly things, that make sense to you but look ridiculous to someone else. …

Throwback Thursday – Motorcycling in France
Now that spring is here, a young – er, middle-aged woman’s fancy turns to getting out on her motorcycle. Well, this one’s does. …

Throwback Thursday – One Week Ago in Iceland
Perhaps you experience this after a trip, too. You get home and there’s a point where you think, did that really happen? It’s a little surreal. You wake up in Iceland and go to sleep that night in your own bed. …

Throwback Thursday – The Greatest Hits
Sometimes I get wistful about radio stations past. I miss the 680 News team, but they’re not even the same team anymore. People move on. Lives and careers change. …

Throwback Thursday – My First Blackburn Job
Although it was (gulp) almost three decades ago that I worked at CKNX in Wingham, I’m happy to say that many of the people I knew best in those days are still my friends or, at least, we’re still in touch. And I’m married to one of them. …
