A Word From Your Sponsor
A funny thing happened on the way to the blogosphere…..people started sending me stuff. Free stuff. It was cool. Except now that they’ve paid the bill, I’m expected to, ahem, put out. And I can’t. I’m just not that kind of girl.
Montreal Mon Amour
My man and I love our babes to bits. But we also love each other, which is why we skipped town, hit the 401 and headed to Montreal.

Gone Fishing
Ferillo. It was Saturday night and the joint was anything but jumping. It was Deadsville. But what the hell! We’d bring our own atmo. We braved the subtle bleachy/worn mop smell and took our seats in the window.

I’m always amazed when a seemingly brisk business disappears in a cloud of dust.

It makes the bad closing-down news much more palatable.
