Driving home one day down the Trans-Canada Highway, I got to thinking about ancestry. Where I came from, and where they came from, and I realized that I didn’t really have much knowledge of my family history. Sure, I have memory of a couple of family anecdotes about some distant cousin that was someone famous […]
Isn’t it all crazy? What you ask? Life… Life is crazy… the world is crazy… everything is crazy!! I know it’s always been this way but I can usually find something to hang onto that isn’t crazy. But crazy is everywhere! It is invading every layer of my life! Yes, I know I’m ranting on […]
September 23, 2018… It snowed yesterday. That’s right, snow!!! That white fluffy stuff that people that have never seen it before think is so pretty!! I cut my grass on Tuesday!! I woke up today and I now need to shovel my walk!!! This is the type of thing that causes the uneducated to question […]
What do you think? Head held high or in hand-cuffs? How’s he going out? I had a friend say to me (keep in mind this is two Canadians talking), “None of this would be happening if it wasn’t for the Russia Investigation.” Shhhhh!!! Don’t say anything Uncle Jeremiah, let me set it up. […]

Wow!! Okay that was a little too close for comfort. After I published my last piece both teams promptly went out that lost that night. The basketball Raptors were unceremoniously swept from the payoffs by the basketball god LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Jets looked like a they had all just graduated from […]
I have been hard on teenagers in the past. Their under-developed understanding of just about everything has caused me to be frustrated by their actions. Their lack of fore-thought before they do anything has caused me to shake my head and their inability to learn from others who have gone before them seems incomprehensible. I […]
World politics is not an area that I usually venture in to. Not because I don’t have an opinion but because I don’t feel I am knowledgeable enough to voice it. I wouldn’t want to say something incorrect because I don’t have the facts or have not considered the situation from all angles. I just […]
Welcome to 2018. For those of you that are alive reading this, raise your hand if you never thought you would reach this day. Don’t bother raising your hand Uncle Jeremiah, I know that you’re surprised every day to wake up, so I’ll take you as a given. The rest of you can lower your […]
