I work at Starbucks, and you may have seen that our new Christmas drink this year is a Caramel Brulée.  Spelled that way.  At least, in the U.S. it&#8217;s spelled that way.
I was looking through the signage for it a few days ago and discovered that the spelling on Canadian [...]]]></description>

Calgary Arts Development is moving, so this week, everyone&#8217;s working elsewhere, since we have no office for a few days.  It just so happens that I&#8217;ve been fighting a cold and sinus infection of some sort all week, so it&#8217;s been nice to be [...]]]></description>

I just came from a press conference where Mayor Dave Bronconnier declared September as Culture Month in Calgary.  It&#8217;s pretty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few things that are disappointing me (just a little bit) right now:
Standing Ovations
We saw two shows this weekend.  One of them deserved a standing ovation.  The other was okay, but not brilliant.  However, they both received ovations.
It&#8217;s sad that the power of a standing ovation has been lost — it&#8217;s expected, [...]]]></description>

No, really?
Heh.  I&#8217;ve been saying that for years.  Just like I&#8217;m not a small-town kind of girl, I&#8217;m also not a small-church kind of girl.  The thing is, though, it&#8217;s not about being big for the sake of [...]]]></description>

This weekend is the first that we&#8217;re in Calgary with almost nothing going on since&#8230; oh, Father&#8217;s Day, give or take.  I&#8217;m looking forward to it.
