Rule Brittania @ 60
4
Can you imagine – on Monday Queen Elizabeth II will have been on the throne 60 YEARS? In a reign that is the second longest in British history (she needs three more years on the throne to surpass Queen Victoria), she has seen 12 American Presidents elected, ruled as constitutional monarch of 16 countries (of the 54 in the Commonwealth), headed one of the major churches of the world, and on those rare ‘days off’ must … Read entire article »

Anonymous Hate
4
The Internet can be an amazing place, informing, educating, entertaining and connecting. The last part is perhaps the most important – the Internet has the ability to connect people, across borders, time zones, ethnic and political backgrounds. But it is this ability to connect that creates the biggest need for responsibility. How many times have you received an email from a friend / relative / possibly even a stranger that talks about how ‘easy’ immigrants have it … Read entire article »

Groundhog Day
2
Maybe Wiarton Willie and 11 of his pals are right – an early spring they say – not a shadow seen from Aurora Colorado (Stormy Marmot) to Lilburn Georgia (General Beauregard Lee). But it is still Groundhog Day, the day when just about anything can happen – and keep happening – just ask Bill Murray in the eponymous movie ‘ Groundhog Day‘. In our house 2-dash-2 started off with the Boss trying to download a book from … Read entire article »

Kanadian Karma
20
dictionary.com defines Karma as “the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person’s deeds in the previous incarnation.” Yesterday Karma was evident in a hospital room in Park City, Utah, as a beautiful young Canadian slid quietly down the half-pipe to her next life. Sarah Burke was a pioneer. She lived on the edge, pushed the envelope, knew all the cliches of what must be one of … Read entire article »

A Ceasefire in The War on Drugs?
18
The drug dealers sure aren’t buying new pink Cadillacs off me; come to think of it even the LCBO better not build a business plan off my bi-annual visits. I’m not a drinker. I have my customary glass of white wine (chilled please!) at Christmas dinner and if I am REALLY sick I MIGHT be talked into Grandma Weppler’s ‘Remedy’ of a humbug dissolved in hot water and thimble full of Jack Daniels. As for drugs, … Read entire article »

Good Boy Frankly!
7
What’s a guy gotta do go get some respect around here?! Recently retired Frankly should be wondering just that, but,… he’s probably asleep on the couch right now, hoping for a tummy rub. Frankly is my new-found hero, as are all others in his former line of work! Frankly spent 7 years as a police dog in Florida, (Miami-Dade County). He’s a chocolate lab living comfortably with his former handler, Detective Douglas Bartelt. During his career Frankly … Read entire article »

The End of The World?
31
Well, here I sit on the last day of 2011, a distinctly normal year (if that is possible around Casa Marcy St.) thinking about all the hoopla surrounding the supposed end of the world in 2012. For something that on first look appears to be right out of the pages of DC Comics there sure are a lot of people freaking out, building bomb shelters and generally preparing to transform / transcend / transport to the … Read entire article »

Is That You, Q?
30
Tired of the same old 9 to 5? Hoping for a new career in the New Year? Need action and adventure? MI5 may be calling very soon! …That is, if you’re a British citizen and caught their GCHQ website on time. The famous British spy agency has been openly advertising for spies since the 1990′s, (and also gleaning candidates from Cambridge and Oxford Universities). This year they went viral! In early November, for about a month, … Read entire article »
