In early February, I stopped following the news of the day because I was getting stressed out from all of the doom and gloom. I used to watch the news all of the time, and if I were in the car, I’d listen to an all-news channel. And then, suddenly, I had a brain fart… Continue reading News of the Day

A Walk on the South Trail
Yesterday, I took a walk along Campbell Valley Regional Park’s south trail. I wanted to clear my mind of debris, caused by years of reckless abandon.

There’s truth to the saying, ” A picture is worth a thousand words!”. When I approached the shore, I… Continue reading A Thousand Words…

My family had moved from Oshawa to Georgetown that summer, but I decided to stay – because I was in… Continue reading My First Pet
