The beginning of November is the start of Movember a noble cause for the benefit of prostate cancer.Unfortunately the papers are too concerned about a more noteworthy cause, “The Mayor of Toronto”. Sure Rob Ford has not been a stellar, conforming, cultured individual. His actions speak louder than words and some of his decisions are...

In the last few weeks I seem to have had an out of body experience. Having elevated blood pressure and a bout of gout, things need to change quick…or else. It started when my youngest left her new Apple phone in a Swiss Chalet restroom. Shortly after we left, we returned and the phone was...

When is enough, enough? Finally Ontarians found out the actual cost of the cancellation of gas plants will be, over $1.1 Billion. Electricity bills will reflect this cost for years to come because the Liberals needed to maintain their grip on power with absolute and total disregard for the welfare of our Province. Their actions...

Autumn is a traditional time when we preserve the foods that have become part of our being. The processes have evolved with technology.

Having become a smooth politician in his career, he simply dismissed the government committee, deflecting all criticism and shifting the conversation. This Teflon Don...

Do you know where the remains of Jimmy Hoffa are? If so the FBI wants to talk to you. Presently they are digging a field in suburban Detroit. This reminds me of the mobster Vinny who went to prison to serve a life sentence for murder. One day his elderly father wrote, “son, it has...

In early March our family had a house fire, no one was injured but we have been temporarily displaced, settling for a two bedroom condo in the Yonge and Eglinton area. Instantly my testosterone levels were heightened and my blood pressure has gone parabolic, pretending to be young and eligible, some people asked, “where did...

Happy Birthday to Rob Ford the embattled Mayor of Toronto who won an election based on a campaign to fight to save taxpayers money. He hasn’t been the pretty ballerina but could improve his image by losing a few pounds for his own health. Unfortunately  due to the stress he has endured until now  I...

If I had to describe myself, I would use the character of Alex P. Keaton, played by Michael J. Fox in the show Family Ties as spitting image of who I am. Always interested in politics and money, today I find myself in a career that embodies the spirit of my interests.  As Tony Montana...

I have to come out and say it loud and proud; No I am not gay but if the truth be told, I am a Big Mommas’ boy. How can I not be, as the person that gave birth to me who nurtured me and loves me unconditionally even to this day, I cannot put...
