When you live high up in a building like we do (16th floor of a 20 storey building), now and then your mind tends to wander to places you wish it wouldn’t. Places like the one where everybody gathers to wonder hey, if this thing ever goes up in flames, how are we getting out …

Obviously, we’re totally shocked by all of the insanity going on on Parliament Hill today. Hopefully all of our Ottawa friends are safe and doing well. But whether or not everyone is safe and sound, Parliament should not sit today as Michael Chong is suggesting. Wellington-Halton Hills MP Michael Chong says he wants Parliament to …
Dear god. Please tell me that people are not seriously willing to pay an extra dollar to have a bartender plunk an “artisanal” ice cube into their drinks.

Gill seems to have a thing for reviewing restaurants these days. She goes to some pretty alright sounding places. Last evening I went out to this local Thai place called Pho Mai.

So here I am, enjoying a late afternoon beer when this pops up in my RSS reader. Chugging Is Dumb I’m not gonna lie. The ability to chug a beer impresses me somewhat for one simple reason. I can’t do it. But just because you can do it doesn’t mean you should. It really is …
