As a huge Beatles fan, I really enjoyed the “Rain: A Tribute To The Beatles” show earlier this week, especially since they played much of the Abbey Road album (which is my favourite Beatles album) in this version of their ongoing touring show.
..which makes the fact that the NHL’s second-best team, the Calgary Flames, lost in *five* games after a disastrous performance tonight only slightly less painful. I guess I’ll always have the regular season. 🙁
When I was a kid, my single most disliked show on television was “Question Period“. It was on CTV, late on Sunday afternoons, and after a weekend of cartoons, Disney specials, movies, pro wrestling and hockey (er, I probably watched too much TV as a kid!), I hated that weekends in my two-channel universe […]
Had a scary moment this morning when my laptop wouldn’t charge and even crashed a couple times when I tried to get it working.

Pretty proud to be a board member for this organization and if we’re thinking of fun, one of the most enjoyable parts of the job is having the opportunity to have a say in which manuscripts become published books!
