I received a great little basket of President's Choice goodies to review -- just in time for BBQ season -- featuring pork from their new "Free From" line, steak from the "Tender & Tasty" line, as well as the ever-reliable "Air-Chilled" chicken (though I should note that we actually had drumsticks). The basket also included on of the PC dish towels -- always nice as a reusable giftwrap(!) -- one of their salt/pepper grinders, a bottle of Memories Of Dad's Grill sauce and a bottle of PC Steak Spice Marinade.

Read MoreThe park at the end of our street is a wonderful space for kids. There are broad paved paths perfect for learning to ride bikes, a smaller play structure for climbing and sliding, lots of little hills to roll down and tables and seating to encourage congregation of families and neighbours. About the only thing missing from this great little gem, IMO, are some kid-friendly plants with flowers to be enjoyed or picked that are hardy enough to withstand the heat from the asphalt and the love from the children. What the park accomplishes in fun and function, it sorely lacks in visual appeal.

Read MoreAmazon rank I admit that I'm pretty annoyed about this whole thing -- given my own opinions on LGBT issues and erotica as a literary form. I hope the good folks at Amazon smarten up and fix this mess quickly. This is not cool in a very big way. :/
