My wife astonished me this morning by telling me that she liked my camera vest. I've married a woman who approves of my clothing!

It went something like this: "Is it okay if I wear this around the city? It doesn't look too nerdy?"

"I like your camera vest."

! "Really?"

"Yes, you're cool, so the things you wear are cool."

"Huh." .oO(Married three years and she still thinks that? I must have married well!) "Thank you!"

rand()m quote

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
