A Perfect Moment on the TTC
The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) doesn’t really have a good reputation. The system is plagued by outdated equipment, poorly designed stations, inefficiency, and a bad reputation. They have hired someone to turn the thing around, and I think it is … Continue reading

Dollar Store Pregnancy Tests
I was just browsing the dollar store (Dollar Tree in this case) and I came across a home Pregnancy test. Maybe it is just me, but this seems so …..wrong? Unreliable? clearly a sign of the apocalypse? I was surprised … Continue reading
Reaching A Goal I Had Only Subconsciously Set For Myself
Yesterday, my blog recorded its ten thousandth view for this year. That is a fantastic number for me. In my first year, I had less than one thousand. I never formally acknowledged that I wanted to reach this number, but … Continue reading

Confusing Scenes from the Bus
Today, as I continued to mourn the loss of Gord Downie, a scene on the bus made me realize that I find people amusing….or is it confusing. Two different people were talking on their phones; one in front of me … Continue reading
