--> Apparently you can correct some of your youthful indiscretions.  I recently read about a new trend in plastic surgery; earlobe reconstruction, really . . .  earlobe reconstruction.One plastic surgeon says that he has been doing four or five of the one hour procedures a month, and it seems to be gaining popularity.  It is…

For twenty years he was right there and she didn’t have a clue.  Two decades ago Rita Wolfensohn’s life changed when her 29 year old son Louis moved out of the family home.  From that point on mother and son had no contact with each other.  That changed last month when the legally blind, elderly…

It was almost like they had had been two different debates.  The first where Donald Trump was the victor and the second where Hillary Clinton emerged victorious.I didn’t watch the presidential election debate on Monday but others did.  At least I thought so. The first story I read on Tuesday told me that Hillary was…

It was a term I had never heard before, I understood the “Trouble with Tribbles” but what was this “Trouble with Trouples”? 
I came across an article the other day talking about trouples and I discovered that it is a term for a polyamorous unit made up of three individuals.  It could be any combination…

She had obviously never heard the old proverb “Revenge is a dish best served cold.”  Of if she heard it she wasn’t paying attention, because it appears she wanted her revenge to be hot.I read an article this week about a Florida woman who set her ex-boyfriend’s car on fire, presumably in retribution for something…

“The first thing I thought was that this is exactly what will happen when Donald Trump will be elected: It's good practice.” Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley may have joked about the recent invasion of his town by Americans, but he wasn’t laughing when he realized that Sarnia would have to pay to get them home.In…

Staying on a sports theme from the last couple of weeks, albeit a different time and different game,  I read an article recently about some of the original players from the 1972 Summit Series. That would be a hockey series, specifically a series between Canada and the former Soviet Union.  I remember watching the last…

--> I kind of like the Olympics, I don’t watch a lot of them but do enjoy what I watch and enjoy cheering on the home team.And then I stop and think about how much the Olympics cost.  Montreal finally paid for the 1976 games in 2006.  Was it any wonder the Olympic Stadium was…

“Planet Earth Pauses to Watch the Spectacle of Sprint”  That was the headline that caught my attention the other day, and at first I thought that if the rest of the world was like me, the headline probably wasn’t far off.  There doesn’t seem to be an Olympic event that captures the attention of the…

What is a life worth?  Are some lives worth more than others?   Human decency would say that all lives are worth the same, and society in general and the media in particular would declare that any other view is racist. However, the truth is that we apparently place more or less value on lives depending…
