This post is inspired by a chat I had with a friend. We were talking about marriage and sex and lack of sex and people that have broken up due (at least in part) to infidelity.

Who knew that sexism, sexual harassment and kidnapping could be so damn fun? It truly is a wild ride. Serious issues are dealt with through humour and toe-tapping songs. 9 to 5 originally came out in 1980 and we’ve been tapping our toes to that song ever since.

I had the pleasure of spending about two hours with Murray, the owner of a towing company. My van got a flat on the way home. In the not-quite-middle of nowhere.
