Scientsists have found women are more likely to order a salad, or other low calorie meals, if they’re dining with a man.
And, surprise, men order whatever they want whenever they want.
I could have told researchers THAT… and saved them a lot of restaraunt bills.
Psychologists from McMaster University in Hamilton have also found women tend to […]

Good for all of you… for getting City Council to put more money into Calgary’s snow removal budget.
Council has listened and is kicking an extra $10 million in for this year… and has FINALLY included residential streets into the plan.
Wow… what a concept!
Kudos to this Council for taking a step toward what should have been […]

Calgary City Council is not making any tough choices to improve snow removal on your streets and roadways because Alderman want to get re-elected.
The proof? City Council has decided another study is necessary before doing what is obvious.
This time Alderman have disguised the procrastination excercise as a financial audit.
The audit means nothing major will […]

Fog is a wonderful thing… and Calgary has received a lot of it this week.
Okay… it’s not fun for driving… but fog can lead to hoar frost if it’s cold enough… which creates some very pretty photographs.

These pics were snapped by Radana Suk (the Editor of the 660News Morning Show).
Radana took these shots as she […]

I am as excited as a kid in a candy store… just like the thousands of people in Olympic Plaza last night.
The Olympic Torch is back in Calgary!

I’m dating myself, but I vividly remember medals being handed-out in Olympic Plaza in 1988.
Who can forget Eddie the Eagle, the Jamaican bobsleigh team, the Brians, Elizabeth Manley, […]

After about 13-months off the 660News Morning Show… Lynda Parcells is back!
Lynda now has a baby; a beautiful, charming and adventurous little girl.
Norma is NOT happy about that.

For those of you who don’t know… Norma is a cheeky bulldog who lets you know she’s in the room with a flatulent fanfare.
She’s also the oldest sibiling […]

I owe the Edmonton Oilers a big high-five for making the past few days at work more fun than I thought they would be.
It’s been a tough go lately reporting about the death Michelle Lang… a colleague killed recently in Afghanistan… who worked at the Calgary Herald.
Thankfully, the Oilers have given us some lighter moments.
The […]

I am a procrastinator… especially when it comes to holiday shopping.
There… I admitted it.

My friends tell me that’s the first step in trying to break the habit.
But what if I don’t want to stop?
This may seem strange to some of you… but I enjoy the rush of getting things done JUST in time.
It’s hard to […]

I’m fighting a virus (not H1N1… but thanks for asking) and for whatever reason it has stolen my voice.
I’ve tried anchoring a couple of times over the past week or so… but my voice isn’t strong enough so Cormac Mac Sweeney has been filling in (and doing a solid job).
Don’t get me wrong… I enjoy […]

NASA and Microsoft have come up with a website that lets you use your computer to explore the planet Mars.

It’s called “Be a Martian“.
When you play games and poke around on the website you help scientists log and record things like craters and valleys.
The website is up and running right now.
I just spent a few […]
