Wow. The last time Tansy got a dedicated post was December! That’s just not cool! Of course, as a result, I have a metric ton of things to write down. This one could be a multi-parter. Tansy has entered a time period I affectionately nicknamed “the year of the complex.” She has worked with me …

Korean Fusion BBQ
Gill is back with a restaurant recommendation. I went downtown today for something different to do. My friend Natasha and I were searching for a good lunch spot, and we found just that. Bul-Gogi looks and smells like a traditional BBQ place, but once you step inside it dares you to dive in to its …
Fancy New Supermarket
The new Supermarket near our house has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it turns on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and smell freshly fallen rain. When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and smell the scent of fresh hay. When you approach the egg …
The Perfect Shot
A guy is standing over his tee shot, looking up, looking down, measuring the distance, figuring the wind direction and speed… “What’s taking so long,” his partner finally asks. “My wife is on the clubhouse porch, so I want to make a perfect shot.” “Forget it,” replies the partner. “You’ll never hit her from here.”
It’s One, Two Hit-And-Runs And You’re Out AT The Old Ball Game
We live in a world where not everything is just and not everyone gets justice. But many times there is justice, even if sometimes that justice takes half a century and is kind of cold-hearted and weird. In 1968, Douglas Parkhurst killed 4-year-old Carolee Ashby in a hit-and-run, or at least he’s pretty sure he …

It’s A Neighbour Thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL3xSctTB5c Hello again, Gill. This time she comes bearing bad neighbour stories and wondering about our own. For us, that’s easy. There are these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and probably a few I’m forgetting. Yes, we’ve had …
Keeping An Eye On Things
Gill has a quick update on last month’s hospital saga. Hey there friends! You know how I told you of my harrowing experience in the hospital last month? It appears I must go under the knife in September. The doctor said he didn’t like the fact that the lump from the infection is still there, …
When Fun Went Wrong
Gill is back to wish us all a happy amusement park season. If you’re heading out to enjoy some fun over the next few months, hopefully you don’t wind up suffering the same fate as any of these poor folks. We need readers. We also care about your safety. Yes, we most definitely care about …
Is Your Wife Ok?
A man and a woman were having a quiet, romantic dinner in a fine restaurant. They were gazing lovingly at each other and holding hands. A waitress, taking another order at a table a few steps away, suddenly noticed the woman slowly sliding down her chair, under the table and under the table cloth while …
Put The Money In The Bag. Sure, But Put Your License Through The Machine
This is normally where I’d call David Menser an imbecile, but honestly, he might just be an average guy. Why? Because on the one hand he was smart enough to remove the dye pack from the stack of money he got from the bank teller he was robbing, but on the other, that ended up …
