George Thorogood was in the dog house. The Commodores and the three little pigs were admiring the aesthetic and structural characteristics of a brick house. Jimi’s baby was staying at a red house over yonder and old Johnny Cougar had his eye set on some little pink...
It is supposedly Springtime, and when I saw this brew on the shelf I thought to myself, “that seems like a nice Springtime brew” with Marigolds* in bloom. However, Mother nature can be a cruel taskmaster and there has been nothing spring like about this spring so far....
Last night my old buddy Ian had the Jays, the Leafs and the Raptors all going at once. He had to ice down that channel changer hand after all those games but it was all worth it. Serve up a round in the win column. A TO triumvirate triumph. A toast to the three...
At the cottage solo, or as I like to say, I have checked into my sane asylum. A well stocked beer fridge is a joy to behold. As JT would say ”Decisions, decisions…”.* I am not quite sure how decisive I am, maybe I am, maybe I’m not, I don’t know for sure. I can't...

The Leafs posted a shutout last night against the senile Senators. Is senile Senators a redundant statement?* The goalie was the hero with a zero. The Leafs are headed to the playoffs, the Senators are headed to the golf course. Which is my smooth slick segue into...
A globetrotting theme started the evening with some exotic international cuisine. Chinese food delivered. I wrote a little poem to commemorate (commiserate) the event (ordeal). Got Chinese food for the whole brood, $100 bucks, that sucks, Did I mention, it was the...
On the road again, figuratively speaking, while sitting in my comfy Lazy Boy watching the Leafs. This beer is taking me back to my favourite East Coast town, Bathurst NB.* I have fond memories of my visits to Bathurst. The great people at Brunswick Mine. The missus...
1969 was quite a year for rock music. Woodstock was 3 days of peace love and mud, with the notorious Altamont * at the other end of the peace and love spectrum. The Beatles parked their Yellow Submarine on Abbey Road and Bowie was a space oddity. We were introduced to...
