A question my father gave me, as a youngster, was "what is the measure of a man?" He would ask this when we were alone and I had been up to mischief. It was his job to punish and mine to get...
Eric Conroy is not an average guy! He and his family reside in Scarborough. In keeping with this, he has a wide range of interests, friends and experiences. His focus is broad and the range is...
Anyone who has spent any time living in a house trailer will tell you the unit is far from sound proof. Conversations may be overheard and the slightest rumble or rattle travels the length of the...
It has been months since Three Beer's lady began putting ideas into his mind. Subtly was the key! She whispered in his ear while he slept! There were notes tied to his beer bottleneck and, worst, when...
Our attention was on the weather. The temperature had dropped and a chill was in the air. Ice crystals were forming on the edge of the pond, which had a covering of fallen leaves floating on its...
Ed Simpsons and Bruce Dafoe are content. Satisfied in the sense that they took on a challenge, a test if you will, of their own making and succeeded. Both are Scarborough through and through.

Ever had a moment when reason, sanity, any thought other than murder, has overcome you? Thought so! It is natural and human to loose the string when another person blind sides you with a nasty comment...
They consider themselves guardians and caretakers. Each has his story, history and most are their family's first generation in this young land. Their devotion is fierce and each bears a strong sense...
From earliest childhood we are taught that nothing is static and life is ever changing. There is plenty of proof to this. Consider food preferences, how they vacillate, our choice in friends, even...
Laughter is like cement! It binds and strengthens the bonds of friendship better than any glue from a discount store. Tears are at the other end of the scale.
I say this because a holiday weekend...
It had been a full year and yet many of us remained stunned at the reality. So we gathered under a sky filled with scudding clouds on a day that seemed fittingly cool. The chill helped us...
It had been two weeks since my medications were changed. The new batch, some three or four pills depending on the day, were small, easy to take. Not the horse-pill-size wafers, which must be minced...
Curiosity has its way with me. Common sense, caution, even using my head come second to my insatiable need to discover. In most cases this penchant has landed me in hot water or worse.

Is life passing at an increasingly rapid pace? Everywhere one looks things are zooming along, other than the arrival of warm weather that is. Nature is the last to be prodded into something it...
It was slow. So terribly slow. But it finally began to recede and left behind soggy and decidedly bare mud. The departure did not come with fanfare, a trumpet blare nor did a drum roll commence...
Most people think folks who like snow, freezing weather and the ever-mounting costs of winter should be incarcerated. To defer warm weather for the chill of minus zero is sheer madness and deserves...
It seems just yesterday it was announced the Royal Ontario Museum was to undergo an amazing change - an addition was to be built on the north side facing Bloor Street.
A contest for the best...
Ask a wife what moves slower than molasses or an old turtle and she will answer "my husband." Especially if work is involved. At least that is how it goes around my patch of earthly heaven...
