I cannot believe that within a day of the sad passing of Senetor Edward Kennedy, I sit here mourning the death of another icon of American life. I fear what tomorrow will bring, lest my blog becomes an obituary column. The American original known as Dominick Dunne, died today. So wide [...]

Well another bummer of a Hurricane. Now before you call me insensitive to areas that are hard hit by storms just here me out. I come from Alberta. Land of crispy dry summers and freeze dried winters.

Again it seems that Canada lags behind the rest of the developed world. No not in technology or manufacturing but in – I like this – Assisted Human Reproduction. Apparently in a country of 12 million adult men, we only have 33 sperm donors to supply its thousands of infertile couples. O.K. just stop [...]
