Today, at the back door of the local Natural Health Shop; two of the staff (in their work shirts, so I know they work there), out the back of the store, puffing away on their cigarettes. Well, I thought it was funny

Last Wednesday, I "starred" in a TV commercial. Questions were asked from off screen, and I spoke to the camera. My best line was "When I started, people would say 'Have you lost weight?', but now they say 'You HAVE lost weight!'".

The down side of that is that a few times a few members of my family have entered charity trivia nights, and I get snide remarks from other people who think I ( Read more... )

My second brother, Malcolm, lives on the other side of the country, and so I see him far too infrequently (the last time was in July 2004, MUCH too long) and I seriously miss him ( Read more... )

I haven't posted since the children were here, and they are coming again next weekend, so I should post while I have the chance ( Read more... )
