It’s cold in Edmonton – deal with it

It gets cold here in Edmonton. Usually around the time January rolls around, we see a few days with abysmally cold temperatures. And on those days when the temperature falls below the -30 Celsius mark, I’m usually left astonished by two types of people who’ve been living in Edmonton for years.

Teeing up the undead

I rarely dream, or if I do I usually fail to remember my dreams. I may even have nightmares that I don’t remember, which is fine by me. But over the weekend, while I was asleep, I had a brainwave… about zombies. I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed with zombie movies. As a genre, I don’t [...]

Canada’s Worst Drivers

I consider myself to be an average driver. I make the occasional mistake on the road, yes, but nothing serious and I have certainly never put anyone’s life in jeopardy.

by Adam Rozenhart

Every now and then, the person or persons who submit their complaints to FMyLife.com are so clearly exaggerating that only a nincompoop would believe their fish tales. And when I say “every now and then” what I’m really trying to say is, “almost always.” These little submissions aren’t terribly long, but there are lines you [...]

Now on Saturday! It’s FML Friday!

by Adam Rozenhart

Very few things are better than creating a long weekend out of nothing more than a vacation day, and Saturday and Sunday. That’s precisely what I did yesterday at the precise time of this writing. I took the day off. I even took the day off from writing FML Friday, which is why this one appears [...]
