Today marks the start of a new year. Yet it is a day like any other day—laundry needs washing, food needs cooking, and the dog still needs taken out several times a day. Since we live on the first floor (that’s 2nd floor in America), it requires a trip down the stairs and a …

Today I came in from a birthday party, and instead of heading to clear up the kitchen, I plunked myself down in front of my computer. By default, I clicked onto the solitaire game on the desktop. “What a waste of time!” I chided myself. It was about 5.00 pm and too early …
In case some of you don’t know, “The Maverick” has planned a grueling challenge for himself. I’ve been busy helping him by designing logos, creating tote bags and tee-shirts. I’ve kind of become his press agent, as I’ve also been contacting the media, and writing newspaper articles. However, “The Maverick” wrote his own article and it …
