Tappy needs a new set of lungs

Well, here I am again. We went to the Bow and Arrow on the 18th as planned for the St. Paddy’s Day celebrations.

Hey everyboody, I want to pass on a little info about this site, especially to those of you who check in faithfully to get an update. (more…)

I’d buy me a…

It doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as smoothly as the Bare Naked Ladies ditty, but it’s still fun to think about. In fact, thinking about how you might spend $250k is arguably more interesting because unlike a cool million, you have to remain mostly practical and put a lot more thought into how best to use the funds.

There has been no sign of the homeless man Georgie and I have seen all Winter. Not even his “locker” is around anymore…………………..One of Canada’s most distinguished criminal lawyers, Eddie Greenspan, and I had coffee last week. (more…)
