Catch And Release, A Metaphor for Life
I was watching my granddaughters hockey game the other night when this phrase suddenly entered my mind. The girls are typical of kids this age in their skillset as hockey players.

Why Are Mothers So Annoying?
Reading my favourite columnist Carolyn Hax, a few weeks back, a reader was commenting about her Mom, her mother in law and just Mothers in general, It seems both she and her husband are annoyed 50 to 60% of the time. The complaints ranged from unsolicited advice to chewing too loudly. I'm not sure if the reader was … Continue reading Why Are Mothers So Annoying?
What Exactly Is Success?
You know when I ask myself questions like this my first go to is the dictionary. I hate to say it though, today that really didn't help me much.

I don't shop online. … Continue reading The UPS Doesn’t Come By Anymore…

She had a long and varied life but she had lost her husband as well as two children and … Continue reading Life… Journey or Destination
First Love
I was in grade six when I went to the Friday night movies with a young man in grade five. We were both very nervous as we met in front of the theatre. He was there with some friends as I walked up with my girlfriend. There were three couples meeting that evening, all arranged … Continue reading First Love
