October: Down, But Not Out.

October 27, 2013 by Tracey 8 Comments

October and I used to be better friends back in the day. I gave up on September some years ago, because she tends to have this muther running in all directions, kicking my ass at every turn, but, et tu, Octobre?!  Between this never-ending brick job, and a new case of head lice to manage, an … [Read more...]

Theatre: Dreaming In Autism

October 23, 2013 by Tracey Leave a Comment

I went to see a play called Dreaming in Autism, which was written by my friend Christine Rodriguez - it depicts what life is like living with a child with autism, and how it affects the family - something she knows of first-hand. The production  showed at a private high school near my house, so once … [Read more...]

Television: Masters Of Sex

October 17, 2013 by Tracey Leave a Comment

I've mentioned once or twice how people are my favourite subject, probably after sex. (I don't mean people interest me after sex... c'mon now - stay with me.) *ahem* I have a lot of dirty books literature on the topic of sex, ranging from essays on female sexuality, liberation, and sexual … [Read more...]

Fourth Time’s a Charm

October 16, 2013 by Tracey 13 Comments

As I picked up my kids from school on Friday afternoon, just before the Thanksgiving long weekend, my chatty daughter thrust a handful of artwork at me with one hand, and quickly wiggled her index finger into the elastic of her ponytail. Um... Still talking a mile a minute about her day, she … [Read more...]

HONY – The Book

October 15, 2013 by Tracey 4 Comments

You might have heard about this blog, created by Brandon Stanton in 2010 - a former bond trader from Chicago, who picked up a camera full-time after losing his job during the economic downturn. What started out as a personal passion has turned into a Facebook following of over 1.5 million viewers … [Read more...]

On Beauty and Pageantry.

October 10, 2013 by Tracey 4 Comments

A few weeks ago, as I was dropping Ava Scarlett off at the museum (not the time we saw the Chihuly exhibit, which EVERYONE should see, by the way) but rather for a birthday party. I gave her a quick once-over before entering through the doors, and noticed some schmutz on her cheek and near her nose. … [Read more...]

Chihuly Exhibit – Montreal

October 9, 2013 by Tracey 8 Comments

In the late spring, I read that Dale Chihuly was to exhibit his impressive glass sculptures at the the Musée des Beaux-Arts, here inMontreal, during the summer months and into the fall. So, you know - we had aaaaaaall the time in the world to visit... but of course, we never did. (What's that … [Read more...]

Kids and Empathy: Teach Your Children Well

September 30, 2013 by Tracey 6 Comments

The idea of empathy has been on my mind a lot lately, in part because of this clip that made the rounds on social media about a week ago. While on Conan a while back, funnyman Louis C.K. discussed his views on why he doesn't want his kids to have cell phones... [youtube id="5HbYScltf1c"] The … [Read more...]

On Empathy and Touching People.

September 28, 2013 by Tracey 3 Comments

I'm handsy. C'mon, not like that. (Okay, sometimes yes...) But I mean I physically touch people often. All the time. Montreal being the kind of city that it is calls for the two-cheek kiss, and we often embrace when we meet. I find I rather like the practice, which is widely accepted, and in fact, … [Read more...]

Got Lunch?

September 25, 2013 by Tracey 11 Comments

The other morning, as I was twisting the jar of mayonnaise closed, and capping the mustard, Oliver walked over to the counter where I was making lunch. His face dropped. He: Ooooh... um, I didn't really want a ham sandwich for lunch. Me: *sidelong glance* I'm sorry... you said you don't want … [Read more...]
