Nothing says Merry Christmas like a prepackaged card that says nothing personal but a signature and a “Merry Christmas”. C’mon, people! You can do better than that!

Avoiding the Big-Box Shopping this Christmas
As someone who loves shopping and going to the mall, you would never take me as the person to say that I would much rather do my Christmas shopping in small-town Ontario.
Online Dating Versus Twitter
We’ve all been there – that REALLY lonely stage in life. You just broke up with your significant other, and now what? It’s too early to start serious dating again, but not too soon to mingle. Okay, I admit it: I found myself lost amid the myriad faces of online […]
Going Green AGAIN: It’s Time to Act
Last year I wrote about how it’s not easy being green and, while it was an inspired piece of writing, as most of my blogs are, this year I am going to approach the whole “Green is Universal” week on NBC differently then I did last year. While last year I sounded […]

Fear: The Cause of Lost Freedoms
Homeland Security has the power it has because we are afraid. Terrorists have probably planned dozens of attacks our government has thwarted and not publicized. We know that some suspects are detained longer and “questioned” in ways that standard civil law does not allow, yet we look the other way […]
Friends Support Their Rockstar Friends, But Don’t You Dare Call Us Groupies
Some of my best friends are rock stars. I love being able to say that, so much in fact, I’ll say it again. Some of my best friends are rock stars. Now, I use the term “rock star” to define someone who is in a band, which has not yet […]
