Alec Baldwin returns in “The Hunt for Raging Actor”
Alec Baldwin is missing! The Hollywood star and Twitter icon apparently deleted his account last night after tweeting an angry rant against Daily Mail writer George Stark, who had accused his wife of tweeting during the funeral of James Gandolfini. It’s sad when this sort of thing happens. Alec Baldwin is a talented and charming […]

Be among the first to help Unlock Democracy
Unlock Democracy Canada is “a new national campaign for voting reform and proportional government.” At least it will be, once it emerges from the “coming soon” stage. In the meantime, when Dave Meslin asks me to “like” a page on Facebook and stay tuned for more information, that’s what I do. He didn’t ask me […]

Deeper Society at Northwood tomorrow night
DJ, promoter and friend Ronnie Blake dropped a line early this morning to let me know about an event he’s hosting tomorrow night at Northwood called Deeper Society. It’s a night of “deep soulful house” that will feature the also terrific Mike Lamberti, along with a fellow named Wil Ehren who I haven’t yet had the […]

It’s all part of the job
“All right!” I shouted in my big fun dad voice. “It’s time to go to work!” And I wish I hadn’t done that, because my kid wasn’t around to hear it. I’d already dropped her off inside the daycare, and now I was leaving alone. For all intents and purposes, my great big “let’s go […]

Thanks again for making this year’s Father’s Day Walk a great one!
One of the things I promised to do last week, and which I failed to do before putting this blog on hold for a minute, was give you a recap of the Father’s Day Walk I did with my daughter. It was a rainy day, but a great day, and I’m very grateful to everyone […]

Phasing it all back in
I’m a guy who likes to try and get a lot done in a day, and a good way to do that is to turn as many jobs as I can into habits. The disadvantage of this is you eventually come to cram your average day with one routine after another. Before long, you’re just […]

Newstalk 1010, whose schedule is 96% male, celebrates a “uterus free” executive committee
Late last night, blogger and White Ribbon team member Jeff Perera brought my attention to a ridiculous tweet by the folks at Newstalk 1010. “She ticked off the Fords,” the tweet read. “Now the Executive Committee is uterus free!” It was a stupid thing to say, and it would be easy to call Newstalk a […]

My daughter and I are doing the Father’s Day Walk against prostate cancer (and we need your support)
I had a lot of fun doing the AIDS Walk with my daughter back in September, and I’ve been looking forward to another opportunity to put her in a stroller for a good cause. That opportunity will finally come on Sunday, when we do the Father’s Day Walk against prostate cancer. I’ve set a rather modest […]
