I figure it might be time to write something again as it’s been awhile, and at least two people have asked me to write something (I’ve got fans!). Unfortunately, I’m not really in a ranty mood lately. I feel like Milhouse when he’s wearing capri pants – “My feet are soaked, but my cuffs are bone...

Greetings from China. Mao says hello with a wave. I’m experiencing all you’d expect: Interesting foods, including an oyster as big as my fist at dinner last night. Insane traffic. Much worse than my last trip here in 2005. Chaos will continue as more and more people can afford cars. Pollution. Everything is very grey,...

May Long Weekend (May two-four to Ontarioans, regardless of what dates it falls on. I know – weird.) has usually coincided with the first camping trip of the year.

I decided that since I can’t prove the existence of the blister stick using Google – I would just take artsy (or not so artsy) shots of the one I bought. See how happy that little blue foot looks? Good luck in your search, Ladies.

Let me preface this rant by saying that I’m an engineer, with absolutely no marketing training and only a vague idea of how marketing works. I’m pretty sure however, that I’m capable of appreciating a good commercial, and one of my favourite times of the year occurs when the Cannes Ad Festival comes to the...

If you’ve ever suffered from summer sandal/shoe ravaged feet, raise your hand. Yeah, that’s what I figured. Every girl has. As much as we’d like to march ourselves right into Naturaliser to buy comfortable, sensible shoes – they are just never cute enough (for anyone who works outside the health services field, anyway). After four days of...
