Losing Jack Layton
I should have written this yesterday, but I just couldn't. It was too hard. Jack Layton's untimely death was hard for a number of reasons. First and foremost, I greatly admired him as both a man and a great politician. To quote a commenter on the CBC Tributes page, "Canada has lost the best Prime … [Read more...]
The Open Marriage – FAIL???
Just announced...Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are reportedly splitting up.Hmmmm. This gives me something to think about. They have an open marriage - where essentially they can get it on with whoever they want. So why the hell are they splitting up? Money - check. Sex - … [Read more...]
