On what is the hottest day of the year, possibly ever in Ottawa, I’m going to broach a topic that seems so far off. Christmas. Why am I pushing the panic button? Because there’s only 161 days left until Christmas and if you plan on being at Disney World this year, you need to make …
Oh, what’s that? You don’t like peanut butter you say. Did you really think I’d leave you spinach lovin’ peanut butter haters hanging? Of course not.
