Mansbridge in heat? What a vision!

There are things that amuse me ... endlessly ... for no particular reason.

I present you with "Mansbridge Heat Vision." Perhaps it's the word choice or the fact that it was the No. 1 search according to Cbc.ca's homepage.

Or just maybe it was the comic relief I was desperate for in a day thick with sad stories: A three-year-old bitten in the face by a dog, a mother sentenced for leaving her toddler alone in a crib for three straight days, a mother charged with attempted murder in the stabbing of her baby. Need I go on?

When stories like these arise, I can tell you that not one journalist in the newsroom is hardened enough to shrug them off, despite what some think.

Millions of peaches, peaches for me

It's been awhile since I've written here. My excuse: my laptop was being problematic, and then my laptop got stolen out of my apartment.

Now, I've got a swanky new iMac with no such problems ... yet.

Anyways, I'm not even sure how to do this. I feel like it's an awkward reintroduction. So instead, I'll leap into something else.

I've discovered the nicest little (somewhat healthy) treat in my Nigella Lawson cookbook: Peaches cut in half and sprinkled with butter and brown sugar where the pit used to be, then baked in the oven. They ooze delish.

Off to enjoy...
