Wow, you're almost four! It's amazing how fast they grow up. I mean, it seems like only yesterday you were just learning to say your first word ("Mission Accomplished"), standing and walking (and ducking and covering).So I thought to myself, what do normal four-year-olds do? Well, those who show promise have their parents enroll them in Junior Kindergarten. In honour of that, here is my gift

"If you look closely, you can see that's sponsorship money he's pocketing."Something tells me this man will land on his feet, or sea legs, as it were. After all, it cost a cool $75K to make him PM last time. I'd like to say something more gracious than "don't let the door hit you on the ass...", so I won't say anything at all. Bye-bye.

Our buddy Dan over at Modelresource has his initial impressions of Toronto Fasion Week up at his site. He's not a happy camper at the organizers, I can't say I blame him. Dan and I used to work together at the unnamed Government Ministry, and I know what he's talking about. Read on and clicky the ads for the poor fashionista, ok?

I don't have any particular reason for throwing up this picture. I'm just hoping something happens to make this appropriate today.

Funny, because this wasn't really a "slow" day for news per se. That being said, this little note about listening to music too loud can damage your hearing is nothing new.
