Britney - What's wrong with me that I've watched this twice now and can't wait to watch it a third time? I ♥ Britney.
I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only Toronto blogger who didn't take the bait. A few months ago, I was contacted by a marketing company in Toronto that was going to lend Toronto and Vancouver bloggers a cell phone for a short period. It was a fine phone that

On what some are calling the Humble Appreciation Society, a comment was left this morning by a chap named Doug. He wrote something that struck a nerve with me. He openly yearned for "a CFNY for grownups". Yes! That's exactly what I'm looking for, or listening for, if you will.
Yeah, yeah. The Jays have self destructed and we're back to looking at next year. I'm tired of looking to next year. This entry isn't about that. This entry is about the five Blue Jays players eligible to be a Hometown Hero, a promotion by Major League Baseball designed to
"Boy, everyone is stupid except me."
Bob Thaves was 81. He was the creator of the long-running comic strip “Frank & Ernest”.
I'm digging City and Colour's "Comin' Home". It's totally mellow and full of shout outs to varous North American locales. There's a call out to Saskatoon, Sydney and Halifax, but no love for Toronto. That got me thinking about popular songs that do that shout out thing and include Toronto

There are thunderstorm warnings for Southern Ontario, and that means a little relief from this heat. Yesterday, I wrote about what felt like 47° and complained that I had already listed songs with "hot" and "heat" in the title. By request, here are songs in my collection with the word
Prior to heading downtown this afternoon, my friends at The Weather Network told me it felt like 47° outside. I think they were a little on the low side. This is where I'd list songs with the word "heat" in the title, but I've already done that. I suppose I
