There was an article in the online edition of the Calgary Sun today dealing with the fact that the Pumphouse Theatre was requesting an additional $2 million from the city for their planned renovation. This is after the province reneged on their initial promise of $5 million. Somebody called "Big Turk" wrote a comment in which they described the theatrical profession as a "hobby". Needless to say, I wrote a rather strongly worded response . . .

I've decided not to let my lack of support for organized religion interfere with my consumption of chocolate Easter eggs. My principles seem to break down at the refined sugar level.

I feel like I spend most of my life swimming upstream. Hopefully there will eventually be spawning.

Dear Pope Benedict,

Confession is good for the soul.

If anyone's interested in seeing an AMAZING little film that kinda got lost in the shuffle, check out "The Ice Harvest" with John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Connie Nielson, Randy Quaid, and Oliver Platt.

Good gracious! 10 followers??? Yipe! No pressure.
