Big Bucks
I think I am supposed to be outraged at the disparity. How can they justify the money? A new report says Canada’s top 100 CEOs make, on average, 246 times what an average worker does. Or to put it another way, a half an hour into the new year they had already made more money […]
About Those Rewards…
For the third time in as many months I have been accused of disloyalty. I’d feel insulted if it wasn’t true. I received an email from McDonald’s telling me that the reward points I had accumulated in their app are about to expire and I need to use them or lose them. I expect I […]
I Didn’t Believe It…
… so I looked it up. Turns out you can believe some things you read on the internet. I do occasionally put forth arguments here on various issues. I have no illusions though that anyone is convinced by what I say – no matter how right I am.
Basic Math
A friend posted the above on Facebook. I laughed. But I also figured it wasn’t true. After all, I remember the 1980s, and don’t remember A & W selling a 1/3 pound burger. You would think it would be the sort of thing I would remember, though admittedly I’m not sure if I was in […]

My first thought was…

High Praise
One of the things I miss about radio is the immediate feedback, people calling in to tell you they appreciate the song you just played, to make a request or sometimes just to chat. I don’t get that in my current radio gig, though there is the occasional email contact with listeners, if the customer […]
Pulling The Wool Over Our Eyes?
There are dangers everywhere, but you already knew that. The question is, do you really believe it? I am thankful for those whose job it is to keep us safe: police, firefighters, physicians, and the list goes on. I could fill the page with a list of those occupations that impact on our personal safety, […]
