My Stone Angel (apologies to Margaret Laurence) smelling the heather.
I have often framed my life as perfect. Lucky me.
Once, some decades ago, I was positively gleeful about the fact that I lived in Kitsilano – an area in Vancouver, BC, that is near the ocean, lots of green space, big old houses, people beaches & [...]
After the radio show (http://businessheretics.com/ck/radio) where we didn’t have our planned discussion but, instead, had a jolly and important digression into the issue of gendered marketing, & tangentially, the idea of who is best served by “my” product or service.

I Have a Friend…
I have this friend, eh? She went bankrupt and I thought her life was basically over, but now she has a house and a shiny new car. She went out for dinner at this great restaurant last night – and paid with a credit card. How can you do that?
