Cornwall Ontario – It’s been an odd week.   Cold meds, Cornwall, a ton of introspection and thoughts about life during my 49th year.   A day when every single insecurity and neurosis I have exploded. It also included being so very grateful for my friends and family.  My critters,Continue Reading

Cornwall Ontario –  Bill Kingston is one whacky dude and it’s not just his choice of hat.    Today he commented on the double standard of drug use by politicians. In his best John Baird impression Wild Bill angrily blarted things that aren’t in touch with reality. He tries toContinue Reading
