Slinky Minky!!
Monday, March 19, 2018 29 comments Yesterday DH had to buy a particular fluid for his shaver which is only available locally at an outlet mall. OK then. It was cold but sunny, a lovely day to be outside. (Too little snow for XC skiing . . . ) We parked on the edge of ... Read more
Pre-membering
Sunday, March 18, 2018 24 comments As always, I enjoyed the comments on yesterday's "gated" blog a lot. I absolutely agree there's a difference between "gated" and "bubbled" (oblivious to privilege) and that we need a balance of moderation between self-care and self-immola... Read more

Monday, March 12, 2018 22 comments I know: for many of us "diet" is a four letter word. But all it really means is the way we choose to eat. I wish I could provide a link to an article from this morning's Globe and Mail to Alex Hutchinson's article this morning on the ... Read more
