Latest Post...Smaller, lighter, faster...
Back in 1979 I got my first motorcycle. It was a dirt bike actually, a Yamaha GT80. My dad bought it for me. I was totally pumped, but the truth was, in very short order the bike was too small for me.

Latest Post...The end of an affair
I think I need to put an end to something; an affair that started long, long ago that still lingers in my life today. You see, before hubby came into the picture I had a constant companion with me between the sheets: My laptop! It was one of my single-girl habits to take my laptop to bed in the evening and use the last hour of my day to catch up on writing projects, read emails or surf the Internet. And from time to time, I hate to admit, I would use my laptop as a DVD player and watch Sex and the City videos before falling asleep. Sad but true. Anyway, since becoming married, this old habit of mine doesn’t seem to fly. Just the mere sound of my laptop being fired up or the clicking of my nails on the keyboard puts hubby in a coma and he’s fast asleep before I can even say good night. I mean, there is a plus side in that I can get a lot of work done, but romantically speaking, it is a killer. I haven’t consulted the plethora of self-help books on my night table on this one yet, but I’m guessing the experts would agree. Maybe tonight I will try to finish blogging before bedtime.

Latest Post...QP: The problem is me
I've been going back and forth with Tory Leader Hugh McFadyen and NDP House Leader Dave Chomiak about why Question Period has sucked lately. The Tories have been asking lame questions, the NDP have been giving even lamer answers and everyone's almost done caring.

Latest Post...A warning to iPass subscribers
I am always amazed at the number of travellers who unwittingly end up with massive hotel phone bills. I thought that it was common knowledge that hotels added unscrupulous surcharges to their phones, and that savvy travellers should use their cell phones (bravely shouldering the roaming charges), phones in the lobby or calling cards from their home providor.
