Max out the Visa: Oprah's coming to Ottawa!!!!!





I'm so excited that Oprah Winfrey is leaving one of her mansions to come to Ottawa to impart her wisdom on we lesser humans. I wonder if Gayle is coming.

I can't wait for later this week to pay 300 dollars in advance for the privilege of being in her aura.

It will be an ah-ha moment for a lot of women who will sneak in, not wanting their husbands to know. Neighbors across the city will be pointing figures "Ah ha, I knew I'd see you here!"

I bet Pam Wallen will be there.

On Senate expenses.

I really feel sorry for the poor fans who would have to skip groceries for the month to see her.

All those women who faithfully watched her for twenty years on the tube. They should have followed Suze Orman's advice. Tch Tch Tch.

Guess Oprah doesn't do poor.

Oprah in person. Wowwee, kazawee.

Much more powerful than seeing her on the Oprah Winfrey Network which a lot of people can't get with basic cable.

But Oprah in person...I can't wait to bask in her glow. Maybe she'll lay on hands.

Give me that secret to the success I've been praying to Maya Angelou for.

What orange dress will she be wearing? Will it be shabby chic bought from her beloved Target? Or Dior? I don't think she can fit into Dior. They don't make the asses big enough.

Will her hair be bouffant or curly? A wig, surely not.

Will the angel wear Prada shoes or Pay-less?

I'm told there will be no special guests.

No Dr. Phil. Or Doctor Oz. No Ilanya. Or Tommy Hanks.

No Eckardt Tolle or James Fry.

Just Oprah in all her glooooow.

What will we get for our three hundred bills?

I'm guessing there will be no favorite things.

But sure as shootin' we'll be able to buy a lot of Oprah SWAG.

Magazines, books, inspirational videos.

We won't be getting a car.

Or an Oprah Snuggie. At least not for free.

Just the key to God's Kingdom which I hear is somewhere on Chicago's Magnificant Mile.

But you will only get the keys if see Oprah. Otherwise you won't get in.

There's a list.

And a bouncer. Michael Clarke Duncan. Shh! Don't tell anyone. He just got there.

With Oprah's blessing.

Can't wait.

Oh no! I don't have three hundred bucks.

Have to pay the rent.

Get the puppy spade.

I guess I'll just have to settle for standing along the Queensway, waving at her limo.

OOOOOOPRAH! I love  you.

Yeah, right.

Ashley Simpson: Don't Let Her Die in Vain

  Six years ago, I was combing through my Facebook and I saw post from my cousin Julie Major. Her brother and his wife were frantically looking for their daughter Ashley who just days before had Facetimed her mom saying she was planning to return to her home in Niagara. Ashley never made it home. She was murdered in cold blood in her home in Salmon Arm then buried in a nearby field. It would be five and a half years before her body was located, and her boyfriend was charged with second degree murder.  Today, Ashley's urn has a sacred spot in her parents' home, and Derek Favell is in jail awaiting trial by judge and jury. The trial is expected to go into next year sometime. This has been an agonizing journey for Ashley's friends and family. The pain has never stopped, and the wounds are broken open every time the family has to sit through a series of pre-trial proceedings. Fortunately, this ordeal will end but the pain will never wane for the people, including me, who have b...

Ashley Simpson: A Father Remembers

I have asked Ashley Simpson's family and friends to give us a glimpse into the life she lived before going missing nearly a month ago. Here is how her father John remembers his sweet girl. Ashley was a treat when she came into this world, a smashing 9lbs 8 ounces with a  head full of hair and nails that needed to be clipped. She has made many friends in her journey of life and continues to make them as we speak. She has made this world a better place by her love of mankind and this place we call Earth; unfortunately this life she has lived hasn't been the best for her. She has suffered through unbearable pain and suffering through her menstrual cycles. She has cysts on her ovaries that make those 10 days a living hell. She had one of her ovaries removed when she was just 14; the other they won't take out till she is 40 or older. Years of hell for my Ashley. I so feel her pain every month but she doesn't quit, doesn't give in.   That'...

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...
