I am going to share something with you that is very personal, because everyone tells me that talking about it helps. This is not easy to say in a public forum but my coming out and saying it may help my anxiety and those or others, so here it is. THE BEATINGS AT HOME...
First of all, Frosty the Friendship Dragon looks about as friendly as Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion after a battle with the Night King.* As in not too. Then I got thinking about other frosties, Frosty the Snowman (magical), Jack Frost (mystical) David Frost...
How about those Leafs. Game 4 was déjà vu all over again. Third period, down but not out, broke but not broken, with the fat lady in the stands doing her “do re mi” warm ups. Things certainly looked dire. But just like old Bob Dylan used to say, when you ain’t got...
The movie lions that came to mind for me didn’t really elicit the fear response. The Cowardly Lion, “I'll fight you with one paw tied behind my back.” Elsa, “as free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows,..” or Simba “hakuna matata”. * The there is the movie...
5 o’clock is a recent memory, time to tie one on. As in tie on the feedbag of course. Perhaps a pint as well. You know it. A tisket, a tasket,* a brisket in a basket. I brace myself for a Bracebridge Lake of Bays Barrelhouse beef brisket in a basket on a bun. Beefy...
This brew is a tribute to all the industrial and industrious hard-working trades people buildin’ boats, weldin’ hulls, patching ports and stitching starboards, bracing bows and setting sterns. Maintaining masts and sewing sails, riveting rivets, priming pumps and...
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do, Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue, And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl, Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl.* Ah yes, old Steve Earle was quite taken with a Galway girl. I was 8 or 9 years old...
The Cecil Shamus Fitzgerald of legend certainly looks like a cranky old man, doesn’t he? Could be from a bad bear wrestling experience, maybe he “tapped” out on a bear hug? Or perhaps a bumpy camel ride. They say a two humper is better than a one humper, maybe they...
The ice is off the lake but it’s still on the rink. Playoff time baby. Put up or shut up. Go hard or go home. Goals or golf. Show up and grow up. Put on your big boy athletic supporter. I was really hoping I would see the Leafs win the cup again, this time in colour....
Hatch? A belated Easter review perhaps. You can’t be late for Easter, people will get cross.* This brew has hatched a scrawny plucked rooster with a comb already in place. Maybe the hatchery is near a hydro line or a nuclear power plant? Wrong, this brew is hatched...
