Wordsmith
It’s been a while since I’ve committed to writing. Far too long, in my opinion.
Perhaps it’s been because pain or despair has been a catalyst to putting keyboard to screen.1
The dog’s passing, my Mother’s death and heartbreak of an unimaginable pain gives me the breadth and width to speak my mind. When things are going [...]

“Are You There God? It’s Me, Scoundrel”
“I hear it’s your Birthday (da na na na)
It’s my birthday too!”
(the Beatles)
Well, it’s my birthday today and there’s only one thing that keeps popping in my head. It’s a quote from “Absolutely Fabulous.”
“I don’t know WHY we celebrate the fact that she’s lived so bloody long!”
I mean, [...]
I’ve Said It Before
There have been blogs, scattered about the hemisphere of Internet users, in regards to the abuse of Politicians and their lack of tact with spending. I saw this on CTV news tonight…
Canada’s 308 MPs received about $127 million in expenses last year but there are no public details into exactly how that money was [...]

C: It’s cathartic.
D: All of [...]

It’s the failure of my retirement plan all [...]
Kristy McNicol, Where Are You?
Our place in our family. What is it?
You are the youngest of two. The middle of three. The eldest of nine. Or, like me, the youngest of seven. It’s all the same, isn’t it?
There is always history that defines you.
Your place in that shared history…that REALLY defines you.
Siblings can be amazing. They really can.
Those who [...]
In One Take: The Way Frank Did It
The photo album is open and it’s pointing out history.
Or is it my flaws?
One and of the same. One and of the same; people.

“I wanna laugh until I cry
Wake up with you each day till the day I die…”
Music takes me back, it really does. To ALL my failings. I think, [...]
