I made my annual trip to Port Huron, Michigan - just across the St. Clair River from Sarnia, ON - last weekend. Still didn't have time to cross the bridge, but I did take a boat tour of the river and we sailed very close to the Sarnia shore so I guess I was...

Well, August is starting to August again - hot and sticky with the threat of afternoon thundershowers. I can handle it as I know September is just around the corner. My whirlwind trip to New York City last weekend for Lollapuzzoola was fun - nice train ride up and...

We've had a pleasantly cool (for August) week or so, and it's been relatively dry so I've been able to spend lots of time out working in the yard, sitting on the deck, and enjoying family and friends. I hope the same for you. Next weekend I'll be competing in...

Hot, hot, hot. As July ends we are getting into the dog days of summer, and while I love the month of August for various reasons, the weather is not one of them. I see the first Monday in August is a big day for provincial holidays, so an early Happy Terry Fox Day for...

As you know from the email that delivered this week's puzzle to you (hopefully it got through your spam filter!), Barb had some technical difficulties so we had to jump through a few hoops to distribute the puzzle. So this blog entry is being posted a little bit later...

Greetings everyone - it's still hot and humid, and I had four things to do today and only got two of them done - and neither were this blog entry. So I'm a little behind the eight ball here, and will try to keep it short and sweet. Let's go! Name: For Your Ears Only...

Happy Nunavut Day! Let me know in the comments if you celebrated and how. I've never been to Nunavut, although I've been close enough to see it from a ship, and I've watched "North of North" and am waiting for Season 2 to come out. At the moment, I would much prefer...

Belated happy Canada Day to all! I hope everyone was able to take a long weekend or make the entire week a holiday to celebrate. Our weather got a little more tolerable this week, though it was still quite warm and muggy and we've had several days of afternoon...

Apologies for the unannounced hiatus last week. Both Barb and I had unexpected obligations arise, so it just made sense to skip last week's post. I hope you enjoyed the puzzle - feel free to leave your thoughts or questions about it in the comments section below. This...

OK, I think I'm ready for summer. It's been another week of relatively mild weather, though we did have a rainy weekend. I'm enjoying sitting on my deck whenever I can - like right now and in the evenings after dinner listening to the Orioles game on the radio. I know...
