The Famous Tower
If you are looking for an in-depth examination of Pisa and its famous leaning tower, you’ve come to the wrong place. It was never on my list of “must see” tourist sites, so I didn’t plan my visit. We were heading to Sorrento after a couple of days in Manarolo in the Cinque Terre. The […]
Technology Scares Me
Don’t forget to take my five question reader survey if you haven’t done so yet. It wont take long, and I’d really appreciate the feedback. Click here and enjoy. My car is insecure. I don’t mean that I left it unlocked. It sent me an email; it wants me to answer some questions about its […]
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Just a reminder before we start today’s post, I’m doing a reader survey. It’s short and no personal information is required – it’s not a marketing gimmick. If you haven’t taken it yet click here. I’m collecting responses until September 10. I’m sure it works better on stage. And probably most of the millions of […]
Cinque Terre II
Today it’s mostly pictures. I have quite a few from our 2009 visit to Cinque Terre, and thought just a few samples were in order. And a reminder of course – if you haven’t taken my reader survey, there is no better time than the present to click here.
Cinque Terre I
If you haven’t yet taken the reader survey what are you waiting for? It’s only five questions and can be found here. I can only imagine what the hard trails are like. That’s what was going through my head after the first hour of our hike. It was only 8:30 a.m.; the day’s heat […]
Tying Up Some Loose Ends
I figured an update on a couple of earlier posts might be in order. As you may recall, Canada Post introduced community mailboxes to my neighbourhood just after last October’s federal election. This arguably was the first broken election promise for the new Liberal government, which had promised a moratorium on ending home delivery. A […]
Happy Anniversary To Me!
As I get older I have trouble remembering significant dates. I haven’t forgotten my wife’s birthday yet, or our wedding anniversary, but lesser events I am more likely to be hazy on. Such as the start date for this blog. I had to look it up, and it looks like it started August 30, 2014, […]
Dinner With “The Donald”
The man sends me emails pretty much every day. I usually don’t bother to read them. But this one was different. I’d love to meet you for dinner, Friend. You and a friend could win a trip to have dinner with me at one of our fundraisers as honorary guests. All I’m asking is that […]
Golf For The Average Person
I am not, and have never claimed to be an athlete. Couch potato is more my style, though with a book, not watching television. So it might surprise you to discover that in my teenage years I gave serious consideration to a career as a professional athlete. Mind you, it wasn’t one of those physically […]
