Yesterday I was biking home after dinner and feeling like curling up in my bed…when I saw a tall man running full-tilt down the middle of Beech street wearing full length running pants, a sweater tucked into long gym shorts, glasses, and a huge smile! I had a sudden huge rush of feeling—a yearning for […]

The Earth Does Not Revolve Around the Downtown Core
The new health centre in Bayer’s Lake is meant to serve the ENTIRE province of Nova Scotia, not just the downtown core. Just because the location it doesn’t prioritize the commuting of South End and downtown residents doesn’t make Bayer’s Lake a wasteland or Clayton Park a ghost town. Most importantly, remember that flooded decayed […]

Just long one transit bitch today
OK, here’s the scenario: jumpin’ on the #54 from Woodlawn area to do downtown Dartie stuff, mid-afternoon, too early for rush hour. Firstly, Smiling Mild-Mannered Bus Driver: you’re 8 minutes behind schedule. Do you not realize people may want or need to make that departing-on-the-hour ferry to Halifax? Secondly, Middle School Moron strolling down the […]

Route 9 saviour
To the very thoughtful woman on the route 9 on Friday who saved my 14-year-old daughter “Ashley” from the really creepy guy. His small talk was clearly making her uncomfortable and you jumped in with “Hey Ashley! Come sit with me,” pretending that you guys were old friends, when actually you had never seen her […]

On the importance of planning
The current site for the QEII as proposed by the present government is, while not the worst thing in the world, certainly not ideal. What’s worse is that redevelopment of the QEII Site could accommodate a new Outpatient Wing if we consolidated several surface parking lots into a Multi-level lot, allowing for more parking WHILE […]

Two-faced woman in this town
She smiles sweetly at me. She jokes and slaps my arm. She asks what I think and feel. She pretends she cares. I thought she did and she was my friend. I truly liked this woman until I discovered she was keeping a dairy of me at work. She bought me birthday presents. She complained […]

Toast your bagels better, dickheads!
I’m sick of the way a popular coffee chain under-toasts their bagels. I asked for toasted, not a ball of glue. Toast them longer! They suck. —Going back to gas station croissants

Lo, the spring birds are tweeting (or are they? I can’t tell)
Oh, darling motorcyclists—I do understand your feeling of joy and happiness as you get your bikes out and throw yourselves around the province. What I don’t understand is why you have to rev at dangerously high volumes in residential areas. You’re wearing earplugs, so you probably don’t notice but even a few floors up my […]

Spare change?
Why not just ask me for liquor money? I always give the the guy in Montreal five dollars for beer; at least that’s for what he says it is that he wants the money. “Look, I’ll be honest with you. I’m an alcoholic and I’m looking for beer money…” I respect and reward his honesty. […]

To the blond man in black at the downtown gym
Behind me during cardio, beside me during stretching, and almost into me at the coat section. Had I not been shy, I might have been more than awkward as all hell. —From the brunette woman in black at the downtown gym
