It seems that Gill has found some tasty African food in Hamilton and wants to share. When you think of African food, what’s the first thing that pops into your head? Do you picture just little bowls of cornmeal or rice? You’re wrong! Africa is a diverse continent with foods as diverse as her people …

Food For Thought
Gill has a few small town restaurant recommendations from her weekend spent in and around Meaford. I’m hungry. If you’ve missed my food blogs, you’re in for a treat. So sit down, pour yourself something cold and delicious and be ready to get hungry. Parlor Pizza The neighborhood is never complete without that place one …
Hot Angry Tears
Gill is feeling sad and angry about the state of the world. It’s hard to blame her when you’re staring into the face of mass killings that are so completely and utterly senseless. I often take humorous looks at the things that quite frankly boil my potatoes, but this week’s episode is far more serious …
Gill Is Finally Getting Somewhere
Gill just sent this update on how things are going. It sounds like a cause for nerves and optimism. It’s nice to hear that things are finally starting to move along. Hi there readers, I hope your doing well today. Here’s just a short update on what’s happening. I had the phone consult with the …
Stage Fright
I can’t remember a time when I’ve had anything I would call outright stage fright. Nerves yes, but they’ve always been the normal, healthy little butterflies that help me focus my way through whatever it is I’m supposed to be doing.

Here’s a little update several months in the making. The Good News My colonoscopy and endoscopy both came back clear. I’m relieved with that news …
Battle Of The 5th Grade Classes
Gill has a wicked memory. We were in the same 5th grade class, but I only have a vague recollection of this. I remember the name of the charity and that we raised money for them one year, but anything beyond that, I’m out. When you were in elementary school, did you ever get in …
The December Blues
It doesn’t seem like Gill is feeling the Christmas thing this year. I’ve been there, but for different reasons. One thing I’ve realized as I’ve gotten older and as life changes is that Christmas is a time made for kids. If you have them in your life like I do with all the nephews, it …
A Not So Simple Question
Gill is back with a health update. Here’s her original post if you need to catch up. As always, we’re wishing her the best. When people ask “how are you?” what do you normally tell them? My standard response is “not bad.” But have you considered that those three simple words could force a not …
