I have no regrets. Sure, there are a few things I’ve done that I wish I hadn’t. And of course, there are some things I didn’t do that I wish I had. Then there are the things I did that I wish I had done differently (usually better). But no regrets.* And I certainly...
Madoc is famous, or perhaps infamous, as the location of the COMDB AGM (annual golf meeting). The COMDB have contributed significantly to the local economy through the industrious kids who find lost golf balls among the scenic woods and waterways in the area and sell...
