“If Ford wins this thing,” I joked earlier today, “I’m moving to that American town that all those Kerry supporters abandoned in 2004 (they followed through, right?)” My friend Peter – yes, the same Peter who writes that blog I just told you about – replied by drawing an even better parallel. “It’s funny that […]

If I were to tell you that my wedding band feels a little loose, would you promise not to read anything into it? Kate and I made each other’s rings at the Devil’s Workshop, as you may recall, and we had a little trouble fitting mine. I don’t want to bore with you with the […]

I’ve started using Remember the Milk to keep track of my tasks and “to do” lists. I’ve taken my cues from an old post on their blog about configuring it for use with GTD, and although I’ve got an awful lot of data left to carry over, it looks as if it’s going to be […]

I’d like to open up this post by pledging not to become one of those awful bloggers who only ever talks about mobile phones and social media and what not. Yes, I recently bought an iPhone, and yes, I’ve mentioned it rather frequently since. But I hope you’ll believe me when I tell you that […]

German Chancellor Angela Merkel doesn’t tend to get a lot of press in North America. In fact, if you only know her as the woman that Bush happened to grope on camera at the 2006 G8 summit, then I’m not going to hold it against you. But the eyes of the world are on her […]

“How are you?” the cashier at Shoppers Drug Mart asked the guy ahead of me in line who was buying nothing but two twenty-four packs of toilet paper. “I’m happy now,” he said. “I’m happy now.”

Look, I know I promised that I wasn’t going to post anything during my honeymoon. But in my defense, it was my wife who pointed out that Rocco Rossi has officially withdrawn from the mayoral race. And to hear that his announcement followed the release of an Ipsos Reid poll that showed that Smitherman has […]

Kate and I are getting married tomorrow, and we’re leaving town the following day. We’ll be gone for a week, and unless there’s something really pressing that I’ve just got to tell you about, there won’t be a whole lot happening on this blog during that time. Wish us luck, and I’ll meet you back […]

Have you noticed that a lot of bloggers out there tend to ask a lot of questions in their posts? Like, particularly toward the end? Do you think that approach encourages people to post more comments? Would you agree that a little more discussion would improve a site like this? Do you think if I […]
