First, let me say that I have no particular faith to push; no belief to promote.  In fact, for the sake of argument, in this particular case, you may call me an agnostic.  (Just so you know where I’m coming from).  That said, Holy smokes!  You may be aware that Denver Broncos’ quarterback, Tim Tebow, is [...]

The people have spoken, the city of Kitchener has listened and the nationally-recognized Boathouse music venue in Kitchener’s Victoria Park will be saved. Slated to close on October 23rd in a dispute over rental fees, it seemed that there was no meeting of the minds, no room for compromise between its supporters and city officials, [...]

You can see where the producers of  “Two-And-A-Half Men” are going to take the show this season. Faced with the task of replacing the hugely talented, albeit angst-ridden Charlie Sheen, enter Ashton Kutcher – pretty boy significant other to uber-”cougar”, Demi Moore.  How does one compete against Sheen’s impeccable comedic timing and ascerbic wit?  Well, [...]

They’re among the three most hated letters in the English language – at least in Ontario; at least among taxpayers who have not taken the time to actually examine the long-term positie impact of the Harmonized Sales Tax.  A number of tax experts, far more knowledgeable about the tax than myself and most typical taxpyers, [...]

It was with some trepidation that I decided on the day of the event, to show up at the 30th anniversary reunion of the Ryerson University graduating class of 1981.  I say SOME trepidation, because I was primarily excited about seeing people whom I literally had not seen in three decades.  Trepidation though, because I [...]

What a treat to take in the performance of K-W Glee last night at Waterloo Mennonite Brethren Church.  This collection of talented young people – singers, dancers and musicians – blew the crowd away with their amazing talent.  They are also a collection of very decent, hard-working kids.  They are a credit to the community.  [...]

Took a walk the other day through downtown Hespeler.  Part of the city of Cambridge since 1973, it has always seemed to me that Hespeler never quite bought in to the amalgamation with Preston and Galt that formed the city of Cambridge.  Separated by the 401, and situated that much further east, it appears to [...]

Winning! Go get em’ Charlie. To err is human, to get the last laugh (all the way to the bank), is cause for us all (okay, maybe not all, but those who wagged their holier-than-thou finger at you), to pause and reflect. http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/957835–cbs-wants-charlie-sheen-back

More than three years after tearing the rotator cuff in my left shoulder, I am about to head back to the gym.  It’s amazing how quickly one can get out-of-shape.  It will be a daunting task to get back to the fitness level I had before the injury.  Quite frankly, while it has taken years for [...]

In the wake of the damning release of more than 90-thousand U.S. military records on the the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks.com, it is disheartening to hear some of the reaction. I can understand why the White House is upset – after all,  evidence of alleged atrocities committed in Afghanistan by U.S. soldiers (contained in some of [...]
