Ford reaches his ideal height

After weighing in at ... 330 lbs. Rob Ford is proudly going to be aiming to lose 50 of those lbs. in the next five months. Best of luck to him. Wildly popular and winning the mayoral race by a landslide, his antics have made him the scorn of the Toronto Star for the last few months - however I really think this will bring Ford back into favour.

2011 Reading List

The reading list is an interesting exercise, because I can remember the special places I was while I was reading, in some cases (whereas, most of it's done lying in bed). The nostalgia of it all is all the more prevalent when I look at last year's list, where I did most of the reading in a quiet room at my old place of business during my lunch hours (which might be another indicator that I wasn't fitting in there.)

I had a strong start to the year that set me on pace to read way more than I would have expected, courtesy of a pleasant, sunny trip to Mexico.
