REAL ESTATE NEWS
Boozy the Clown and his partner recently purchased a sprawling 1950's pied-a-terre in a lush part of Vancouver. Among
the features are a very Hollywood circular staircase, shag carpeting, and an outdoor pool. So delighted with the new acquisition,
Boozy carried the blueprints tucked under his arm when he flew into Toronto for a quick shopping expedition to furnish the
house. He was quick to correct our fumbling of the street name. "No, it's not CAR-NAR-VAN with a flat Canadian twang you twits...it's
CARRR- NARRHH-VOHHN".
The Politics of Napping
Do you find yourself stifling a yawn halfway through the day? Horrified that you may be slipping into premature old age?
Don't worry. Napping is the best picker-upper around. Robert M., a self-avowed napper of many years, offers a few hints for
the successful slumber.
1) Saturdays between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. is the best time to have a quick shut-eye. Any later can disrupt your natural
night snooze.
2) Never undress for a nap.
3) A light blanket is fine to cover your reposing form, but never anything heavier.
4) 45 minutes is the maximum amount of time you should snooze.
5) Do not nap while the television is on.
6) The couch is the only place for a lie-down.
7) Avoid napping with the shades drawn. You may end up waking up the next morning - a definite no-no.
Nosey P., another Saturday afternoon nap devotee, claims that reading the weekend papers is a perfect way to kickstart
the process. She recommends tuning in to KCRW, a station from Santa Monica that plays suitably appropriate napping tunes on their flagship Saturday program, Weekend Becomes Eclectic.
Well, I can say GAN-DER, and it's Gander no matter how you pronounce it and that's where the cheapest house in Canada is
(according to mls.ca). For a mere $4500, this picturesque beauty can be yours.
