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 »

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 »

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas?
3
We’ve been getting a bit of snow over the last few weeks, enough to remind us winter is on it’s way. There are many signs of the approaching Christmas season too. Some, a bit more unusual than others…. Last weekend a 32 year old woman in Kelowna, BC had some help with a 7kg fir tree she’d just purchased from her local Real Canadian Super Store. She was setting the tree up to be an ‘unusual … Read entire article »

Who in the World are You?
4
You may have read that the 7-Billionth person in the world was born on October 31, 2011, (a Scorpio, for what it’s worth). You may be wondering “So, what does that have to do with ME?” Well, here’s something just as interesting as talking about you! From the BBC comes a new website. It’s based on facts, figures and statistics gathered by the United Nations Population Division. It’s called “7 Billion People and You; What’s … Read entire article »

A Moose on the Loose!
10
About 5 or 6 years ago the Wingham Public Library hosted an afternoon with writer/illustrator Andrea Beck. Andrea has put out numerous kids’ books featuring her character ‘Elliot Moose’. There’s a cartoon show “Elliot Moose,” that runs sporadically on TVO I think, (we’re passed that age, so I really don’t know tv scheduling). It does have a very catchy theme however. It puts me in mind of a little guy stomping down a trail with … Read entire article »

FALL FAIR and other 4-letter words
29
Ha! I can see how your mind works already! You’re thinking about NASTY 4-letter words. Well,… In reference to preparing for the FALL FAIR I’m here to say there are a mix of good 4-letter and bad 4-letter words at my house! Let’s start with BAKE. That’s a nice word! This was the verb used around the house on Thursday, the day before the dead-line for entering the baking and other various contests into our local … Read entire article »

Gold Medal Performance by Cargill Blue
19
I’ve been a soccer coach/co-coach a few years now. As I’d written earlier, Sunday, August 17th was the big year-end U10 tournament in Hanover for the Saugeen Mixed Youth League. My team, the South Bruce Red “Fireballs” won two of their three games. Essentially coming 2nd on the ‘B’ side, and therefore going home with a bronze metal, (just like the 2nd place ‘A’ side winners). We were beaten by Cargill Blue. … Read entire article »

Going Out Like Fireballs!
15
The SouthBruce Red U10 soccer team, the “Fireballs” played their last regular game Tuesday August 9 at home. A loss set them into 10th place out of 16 teams in the league. Not a true reflection of how consistently they played however, as this team ‘floated’ around 8th place most of the season! Sunday in the year-end tournament of the Saugeen Mixed League at Hanover, SBR Fireballs played like champions! Their first match, against the mighty … Read entire article »
