The last few weeks as I have been leaving my local Loblaws I have seen ads all over talking about Click & Collect. I don't know what this is, but in my usual apathetic fashion I ignore it and move on with my life. The last time I went grocery shopping I see a video while I'm waiting in line - my interest is piqued. "Can it really be that easy?" I ask myself with a moderate amount of glee.

I had the opportunity to go see Hey Rosetta! at The Grande Theatre in Kingston.
