Modern Radio Is An Abandoned Mall
There used to be a time when it was all you could do to pull me away from a radio. Now? I hardly ever turn one on. Why should I? There really is no point to it anymore. It’s lost so much of its functionality and personality that there are days when I’m not entirely …

I Managed To Shop Online For Clothes
It’s the middle of May and the weather here is doing its damnedest to turn from winter to spring to summer, but it can’t seem to settle on which one it wants to be. Last week was super nice though, and it put me in a shorts frame of mind. That, in turn, reminded me …
Making Poor Word Choices On The Popular
I don’t know who they have writing the copy for the anchors at CTV Kitchener these days, but that person needs a serious tune up. There has been an increasing number of questionable word choices lately, but last night took the cake…at least so far. To introduce a story about the baby formula shortage, the …
