		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve posted anything, so it&#8217;s unfortunate to start 2009 with a rant about a company that doesn&#8217;t know how to deal with its customers. In Sackville, the only cable provider in town is EastLink. Back in July when we moved to our current home, I was in Sudbury with my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This business with the foot fracture is starting to get to me. For those of you who&#8217;ve known me a while, my physical fitness level has varied like a yo-yo over the years. I&#8217;ve gone for years at a time being really overweight and out of shape, not really caring about what I eat and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back in the Aircast and on crutches. The tenderness in my foot gradually grew to the point where I had to limp to avoid pain. This was the threshold the doctor had indicated for resuming non weight bearing practices. Dammit, the bone hasn&#8217;t fully healed yet. As the doc instructed, I&#8217;m going to make another [...]]]></description>

Claire and Beta had their New Brunswick anniversary a couple of weeks ago, having preceded our arrival. Adidas got back to me a few days ago [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in April, I bought a new pair of top-of-the-line Adidas Scorch Microbounce + trainers to help indulge my burgeoning workout habit. I used them mostly at the gym as I lifted weights and used the cardio machines. In June, I took up running outdoors, gradually increasing the distance and intensity as all the trainers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning, at about 7:00am, the phone rang. The owner of Garderie Les Petits Oursons in Dieppe, NB, was calling to notify us that they were kicking our son out of daycare, effective immediately. Whoa. OK. I&#8217;m going to back up to the beginning of this story and try to explain it as fairly as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My Papa, a wise, wise man, pointed out this universal truth to me many years ago, when I was a child. It remains a fact as true as ever, so I&#8217;m going to share it with you now: You can&#8217;t trust dish scrubbers. You know what I&#8217;m talking about. Those thingies you buy at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People who commute to downtown Toronto from South Etobicoke via Lakeshore Boulevard will know specifically what I&#8217;m talking about here, but I think everyone knows of someplace where a similar drama unfolds on a daily basis. Just past Lakeshore and Park Lawn, the civil engineers worked a bottleneck into the eastbound Lakeshore lanes. At first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One major drawback to day care centres that our family has discovered with Leo&#8217;s first few months in one is the almost bi-weekly cold or flu that he brings home. I understand how it happens. Toddlers don&#8217;t know better, so they sneeze in each others&#8217; faces, touch each others&#8217; food with snotty hands, and generally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week, I attended a conference in the Detroit area. The convention was held in a brand-new, state-of-the-art exhibition/conference/event facility. All amenities were quite top notch, except for one thing: the lavatory faucets were of the push button type. Sometimes called &#8220;metering faucets&#8221; or &#8220;self-closing faucets&#8221;, their raison d&#8217;être is to prevent careless hand washers [...]]]></description>
