The boys of summer are back, in spring training.* I remember a hockey player after watching his first baseball game saying “They shower after this?” I’m not sure about post game batting clean up, but baseball players make some major coin these days, maybe that's why...
The wheelie pulling delivery guy on the can is in orbit and hauling ass (and pizza) around some unrecognizable pre- continental shift of a planet I assume is Earth. Although these days you never know what we’ll be calling the planet next. Enough political commentary,...
Skiing in Ontario brings you right to the Barrie area where they had tons of snow this year. While enjoying the winter sports in the area we also managed to get in a visit to Quayle's Brewery. This place is a little out of the way, * but well worth the effort to...
If you’ve got peaks, that means you’ve got valleys too, just the way the world works. Although a lot of people are wondering just how does the world work these days. The way things have been going lately it seems like the earth is bi-polar. About all I have figured...

I dated a girl named Purity once. Or was it Felicity? No. Maybe it was Serenity. No that wasn’t it either. Trinity perhaps? How could I forget, it was Chastity, but that relationship didn’t go too far. * Walkerville is citing the Bavarian Purity Laws** as the origin...
“It’s so cold I had to jump start the toaster” one old timer told me the other day. Now that’s cold. Been going through a cold spell recently so it’s hard to picture any new growth but we know it’s coming, just as sure as spring follows winter. As far as the art on...
