Well, hello strangers… It’s been a while. Thought I’d make my summer blogging debut with my write-up/review on the 2011 Ford Explorer, which I was offered to experience driving last month. I must note, I’m not compensated in any way for this review, other than the fun of driving a new vehicle around for a [...]

A few weeks ago, Barry, Toni, Sean and I took ourselves down to the Calgary Autoshow at BMO Centre. It was very fortuitous that I got an invite via the Ford PR company to get media credentials there, as I’m fairly desperate to upgrade the Chicklette to a winter-friendly vehicle this summer.

We were over at the always-entertaining-and-fun-Bart’s place last night for a movie night… And we all agreed on The Brothers Bloom – the cast looked great… Rachel Weisz, Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo, and a one legged cat!

December 1st is Worlds AIDS Day, and Starbucks is helping with the cause. Next Tuesday, head on over to Starbucks and grab one of three their signature, (RED)-inspired beverages, including the Caramel Brûlé Latte, Gingerbread Latte and Peppermint Mocha, which they’ll personalize for you in traditional Starbucks fashion. For every one of these handcrafted beverages [...]

With the new condo came a new, front-loading washing machine. I love it. It’s quiet, cleans really well, and spins out far more water than my old top-loading machines of the past.
