Lifelong copywriter. Long-time creative director. Married since 1980. My husband's an award-winning writer/producer/director/editor and webmaster. My daughter is now 26. We moved to Toronto from Montreal in 1985. I live in a townhouse on a back alley in Cabbagetown. Avril Lavigne used to be my next-door neighbour. I liked her. In 2007, I lost 60-65 pounds on the Dr. Bernstein Diet and have managed to keep all the weight off.
