All in a Day Redux

25 January 2010

Whee, that was so much fun!
Thanks to Alan Neal and my friends at CBC Radio Ottawa for giving me a chance to talk about my 365 project on All in a Day today! I was having quite the little moment while I was sitting in the anteroom waiting for my turn to go on, [...]

An ode to runners-up

21 December 2009

The Buffalo Bills made it to the Super Bowl and lost four straight years in the early 1990s. The Red Sox made it all the way to the World Series in 1946, 1967, 1975 and 1986 and lost each time. Jack Nicklaus finished second 19 times in major tournaments, and Susan Lucci was [...]

So you know what comes next, right? Much pestering on my part for your continued voting support, especially now that I know you have to are permitted to vote [...]

I’m trapped in the basement! Vote for me to set me free!!

2 December 2009

Okay, so the fact that I’m trapped in the basement (they’re installing the laminate over my head as I type) and the fact that I’ve been nominated for Best Family Blog in the Canadian Blog Awards are completely unrelated. And yet, they’re the best segue I’ve got. Save me from the noise (oh [...]

In which she evangelizes the H1N1 shot to Canada’s National Newspaper

29 October 2009

I must be getting a little bit blasé about talking to the media these days, because I actually completely forgot to check this morning’s Globe and Mail after one of their journalists interviewed Beloved and I earlier this week until one of my colleagues commented that he’d seen the article. Sheesh!
Anyway, there is a [...]

Tune in to All in a Day on CBC radio today!

13 October 2009

Remember when I mentioned that the producers for All in a Day, CBC radio’s excellent afternoon drive show, were looking for parents to debate when it’s safe to let kids walk to school by themselves? That’s happening today at 4 pm!
Lynn from Turtlehead will argue a more conservative approach, and I will [...]

Who knew blogging out loud could be so much fun?

24 July 2009

Thanks a million to Lynn of TurtleHead for organizing a fantastic night out last night at Blog Out Loud Ottawa, otherwise known as BOLO. (Or #BOLO, if you’re on Twitter.) I don’t know what I enjoyed more: seeing old friends, putting real live people together with their online personae, or finding a whole [...]

This was so fun!! Thanks a million to host Adrian Harewood and producer Rosemary Quipp for giving me the opportunity to come on to All in a Day this afternoon. I had a blast! I’m sure there is a more elegant way for me to do this, but you should be able [...]

Welcome All in a Day listeners!

22 July 2009

If this is your first time here, hello! Pull up a chair and grab a coffee.
Curious about project 365? It’s quite simple, really. Take a picture each day for a year. I post mine to Flickr and to this blog, but I have a friend who is doing her 365 on [...]

Tune in to my radio début!

21 July 2009

How cool is this? A couple of months ago, a producer from CBC radio sent me an e-mail and asked if I’d be interested in coming in to chat about my 365 project. At first, we talked about doing a show around my 100 day mark, but what with it coinciding with Barack [...]
