During her existance she has absorbed the likes of Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin (not a huge fan but I’m working on it), ABBA and more. Currently we are absorbing the power of Yes.… Read More »
About a year ago, there was a car in the parking lot at work that always had the wiper blades sticking vertically up off of the windshield during the winter days. Now, if you visit the parking lot you will see close to or even more than a 1/3rd of the cars with their blades… Read More »

And then say I was charged with 2 yrs prison sentence. Now, say I failed an official drug test due to usage of Marijuana. Then, instead of serving the… Read More »

I left my Mom’s house about 7:00 pm last night. Just after Biff’s home town I could see some headlights making there way up behind me. They weren’t moving too fast but it was noticeable. About 2 minutes it took to narrow the km or so between myself and ‘him’ (maybe a her but let’s… Read More »

I went to Woodbine with Sonia and Brandon last Wed night. A chilly night it was. But the races run until Dec so I guess the horses don’t mind. It was my first taste of Thoroughbred racing. My previous experiences have all been harness. Thoroughbred is wayyy much more exciting. The horses are packed in… Read More »
