Got it on my 10th wedding anniversary vacation to WalMart. Yes, you read this correctly! It just so happened that the WalMart was very close to Deerhurst Resort and since I wasn’t golfing, or at the spa or having some drinks on the patio, or canoe-ing or sitting around a fire or at a show… Read More »
A nod to my pal Chris McLaren. Christien is in love with that Grateful Dead Classic. Plus he’s a Star Wars fan. Plus he has a tinge of red in his hair. Hmmmmm…..
But not without a bang. Last Sat was the HOTTEST day I can remember in years. And muggy. That would explain how that wicked wind and rain storm rushed through the berg ending almost before it began. But leaving a lot of trees down and dropping flash flood levels of rain. Fortunately our road had… Read More »
A HUGE milestone!! Counter to common belief, it is not a 1st time and you’ll get it sort of thing. This has been a month long work in progress. It started with Olivia asking to have her training wheels removed early August. Then it was several nights of 5-10 minute sessions with Dad running down… Read More »

In the spring, in the fall, you only imagine how you possibly hit driver, 9 iron into a 500yd par 5. It’s days like today that I need to remember. It is so hot, and so dry that it’s the perfect storm: I’m the most flexible I can be, the ball compression is matched perfectly… Read More »

When I was a wee lad, I remember spending each and every summer day outside and roaming free around the neighbourhood. Neighbourhood, back then, spanned several blocks of real estate. I lived in a small town with the typical gridlike layout so I was usually never within view of the homestead. Indeed, once I was… Read More »
