Those parents who do not force our children to kiss their leathery Aunt Marjorie upon first meeting, aren’t doing it to ‘portend doom’ (“Why children need to feel the pinch,” Macleans, May 13, 20013). We do it so that our children will listen to their natural fight or flight response. Yes, it used to be…
WARNING: Female things will be discussed So you know how when women are around each other a lot, they can start to synch up their menstrual cycles? Well in peri-menopause that morphs into Period Ping Pong. My girlfriend Anne-Marie and I are racing to see who can stop menstruating first. “I’ll see your 23-day cycle…
I must have been on crack when I thought I could do it. I agreed to ride with actual bike riders who ride many, many kilometers. For fun. I was being ‘one of the gang,’ I was supporting a cause. I was out of my freaking mind. When I think of bike riding in the…
I was bad last weekend. I ate bad things. I made bad food choices. It began innocently with gluten and sugar, then devolved into potato chips, corn twists, cookies and then ended with (shudder) amusement park donuts. Although I did discover that Chester’s Corn Twists… Pretty much gluten free! Although deep fried in oil. My…

Because why? Because every now and again when I go to clear the answering machine of messages – I discover things. Things that should have been written down kind of things. When we get to around 8 saved messages, I try to clean them out. Yesterday I discovered that, unbeknownst to me, my friend Lisa…
I need to wax poetic for a moment. Sleep, oh thou elixir of life, how your enveloping embrace maketh me to want to give you sexual favours. Calcium Channel blockers, oh thou relaxer of blood vessels (even the small ones), how your pervasive travel through my system maketh me want to praise your merits in…

I should have done WAY more Kegels while pregnant. Firming up that pelvic floor should have been a priority. Sure I did them, but I don’t think I did enough of them. Kegels are a bit weird… I don’t know, kind of… squidgy… Concentrating on those muscles for too long – it made me feel…
