Election Day
I’ve tried twice to write a post for today, the first anniversary of the election of the Liberal government in Canada. I didn’t like the tone of either, not enough “sunny ways,” so I gave up. They say third time is the charm. My first attempt was a tongue-in-cheek approach, praising the government for its […]
The Debate Goes On
The second of three American Presidential debates is tonight. To say this has been the strangest election season on record is probably an understatement. I noticed in the news yesterday that Donald Trump’s running mate issued a statement denouncing him. Somehow I don’t think that has been done before; usually the presidential and vice-presidential candidates […]
Hunting Season

The Day After
No political commentary today. If you are interested in politics or world affairs, you probably watched last night’s first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. If you are a supporter of ether candidate, you probably need something to brighten your day. If you don’t care about politics, and weren’t among the record television […]

When I was young the British had a reputation: they knew how to queue. When a line formed in the UK, for whatever reason, it was always orderly. That fact would usually be mentioned as people were trying to find their way through a chaotic situation where an orderly line would have made things so […]
The Publishing Sensation of 2016
The beasty is called an American Trump It’s skin is bright orange, its figure is plump; My daughter the Kindergarten teacher brought home a new children’s book from the public library. She won’t be sharing it with her students though. A Child’s First Book of Trump is written at a level that a five-year-old […]
