Bill 106 – The Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act – was introduced as a Private Members Bill by Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi.
It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Essentially this is what Bill 106 proposes:
“Bill 106 (SCAN) would enable municipalities to appoint a Director of Safer Communities and […]

Here are a few of the things we saw on Sunday while wandering the streets of Ottawa.
Snow at the Clocktower Pub but nowhere else. Of course this would have been a much more dramatic picture if I’d posted it in a more timely fashion, like before we got the first snowfall of the season. (In […]

We were walking up Bank Street on Sunday when I spotted a new swap box on the other side of the street at Bank & Second. GC was impressed with my eagle eyed powers of observation, and said so as I bolted into Bank Street traffic to get to it.
Did you know the Swap […]

I wasn’t actually planning to see the Cirque du Soleil this time round, since I’ve seen them three times in the last twenty-five years and the last time was only two years ago.
But, in the end I just couldn’t let them leave without seeing them.
My favourite character was Valentyna. She’s a […]

I had my first facial ever on Thursday night. It was my birthday present to myself. I went to Oresta’s, the Organic Skin Care Confectionery at the corner of Pretoria and O’Connor.
I arrived precisely at the appointed time, and after a few minutes Tracey the Esthetician came out and whispered to me that it would […]

I was walking to work the other day and I noticed that the local florist was digging up the little trees outside his shop.
“I’m pushing 65,” he explained, “so I have to think about how much maintenance I’ll be able to do in the coming years.”
“Sixty-five?” I asked incredulously, “I’d give you about forty-five!”
“Forty-five?” […]

Do you ever wonder why some people are more comfortable in the nude than others? There’s a whole continuum, from exhibitionists to people who don’t even want to be naked alone. Do you think it has anything to do with how attractive a person believes themselves to be?
Anyway, I just got an email from La […]

The headache started Sunday night and I tried to convince myself I wasn’t really sick. That’s because it’s a busy week with much to look forward to, like the youth gangs meeting on Wednesday night and my first facial on Thursday night and the Cirque du Soleil on Saturday night. And also because it was […]

Yesterday we went all the way to Kilmarnock, which is near Merrickville, to pick apples, only to discover that the apple orchard closed two weeks ago. So we came back to Ottawa and went apple picking in the Parkdale Market instead. (Later we made apple cake. Yum.)
Afterwards we went down to Chez Lucien’s in the […]
