The Good Old Summer Time
I think many Canadians have a vision of what summer should be. We mostly think of summer as being “July and August” as in “What are you going to be doing in July and August? Holidays?” LOML and I have a more extended view of summer and look forward to those weeks from the Two- […]
Come together
On Thursday evening Main Street Wellington was alive with smiles, laughter and dance moves that have been pent up for two years. One of Wellington’s main events, the Canada Day Street Dance made its return, much to the delight of the community. It was great to see so many familiar faces, many that haven’t been […]
My friend, Peter Carver
I hope, dear reader, you will allow me to digress from my usual pattern. The city of Kincardine lies on the shores of Lake Huron. That turf is quite similar to the shores of Lake Ontario. The lake rages for days at a time, as is the case with Lake Ontario here in Prince Edward […]
And there she was
Several years ago I located a friend from my high school days on a social media platform. Okay, it was Facebook. She and I had been fairly close in our senior years and spent a lot of time together. I was pretty excited about connecting with her. I, of course, was stuck in the sixties […]
Throwing the hat
It might seem a long way off, but before we know it October will be here. With it comes a proper Pumpkinfest celebration for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. (More on that later.) October also marks the municipal election which will see a new and fresh set of faces around the horeshoe at […]
Summer, 2022
We welcomed summer early Tuesday morning. The Toronto Blue Jays wrapped up their most recent home stand, salvaging a series against the New York Yankees with a dramatic win last Sunday. They are now on the road in Chicago. The White Sox wore black pinstripe uniforms with the word “Southside” across their chests. That is […]
Weather, or Not
Well, and then it was summer. Right now most of us are aching for summer heat and some sunshine. We can feel it when we close our eyes. Yes we can. And, if we’re honest with ourselves, five weeks from now we’ll be saying things like, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity” or “It […]
Brooke’s Magic
After shooting a final round 64 to take the lead into the clubhouse, Brooke Henderson waited while the rest of the field finished all of their drives and chips and putts. One other competitor, Lindsey Weaver- Wright, birdied the 18th hole to tie Brooke, requiring a playoff. The tournament was called the Ladies Professional Golf […]
Hiking for Hospice
This year I’m Hiking for Hospice. It was my hope to Hike one hundred kilometres by the 26th of June. At this point I have covered just over one hundred and fifty of those one hundred kilometres. Most of my Hospice Hiking happens on the Millennium Trail. In addition to the Trail, I’ve clocked a […]
Pie in the Sky?
It didn’t take long for Andrea Horvath and Steven Del Duca to read the writing on the wall. Both announced their resignations on election night. After four chances, Ms. Horvath’s NDP had not been able to convince Ontarians that it could form a government and ended up with fewer seats than it had going into […]
