I have often wondered how much television has affected my life, from the products I buy to the movies that I watch because of particular actors. We are not always aware of subconscious influences that consistently affect our decision making.

 

The  holiday season is officially over  but  sadly the month of December saw two people killed in New York City when they were shoved in front of speeding trains. The most recent victim was a 41-year-old man, killed Dec. 28 after being pushed by an unknown woman, who has now been arrested.

It's my favorite time of year again! Christmas is big in our house, really big, like tacky neon Santa big!

I have always had a fascination with other cultures and the people that define them, even sub-cultures within our own society that present various aspects of behaviour we may not be aware of. When I travel, it’s the rituals and practices of the local people that I enjoy more than the scenery and hotel that I’m in.
