Just a heads up. Sometimes there are consequences to being opinionated on the Internet. A few hours after posting my entry about the Sex: A Tell All Exhibition at The Museum of Science and Technology, I received an invitation from the producer of CBC radio’s Ottawa Morning to participate in a short, on-air debate about the merits of the exhibit with Dave Quist of The Institute For Marriage and Family Canada.

I was nervous as all get out, especially about the prospect of forming coherent sentences before 7:30 in the morning. But in the end, I think I did okay. At the very least I sounded like a human being*.

Some of you have already heard it, but if you missed it and you want to know how it all went down, you can listen to the clip here.

* Thank you, thank you, thank you to The MoMs and my friend/colleague Barbara for helping me prepare. Without them, my side of the discussion would have pretty much been “sEx mUSeuMs iS gOoD, bLaaArGH!”

 

 

 

 

Peeps, I must apologize.

Work is kicking my ass, The Green Bean was sent home from school with a bloody face and I seemed to have developed some sort of anxiety-related insommnia (or possibly insommnia-related anxiety).  I want to give you the skinny on some super-rad product, film, book but my brain is way addled, yo.
