Well, it looks like Wiarton Willie was correct this year: We’re enjoying an early Spring. I was thinking of all of the things I love about this time of year when the Alfred Tennyson line occurred to me: “In the Spring, a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” I think Read More

I left Toronto in 1982 when work sent me elsewhere. I returned in January of 2002 and I noticed a big difference. The multicultural aspect of the city was more apparent, along with so many new high-rise condos. Above all, though, the traffic congestion was obvious. During the twenty years I’d Read More

I was watching the recent movie, “Blue Valentine,” last week. In one touching scene, a lead character offers the song, “You Always Hurt The One You Love,” to his sweetheart. (Most people know the song as recorded by The Mills Brothers.) It’s a great scene, where the song is sung with just Read More

Toronto, of course, is an absolutely great place to find a variety of foods from all over the world. I love food and enjoy living here for that reason and many others. I travel a bit, but my broadcasting career has taken me over a lot of North America over the years and, Read More

Most of those injuries happened during my youth and I blame them on the carelessness of youth, taking too many chances and the mistaken attitude Read More

Toronto is such a great place at Christmas. It’s busy as it always is, but the chill in the air, people shopping and holiday decorations are all concentrated because so many of us live in a relatively compact area. This isn’t to say that Christmas in the countryside and small towns doesn’t have Read More

SOUNDS OF TORONTO: I’ve been in the radio business for almost 43 years and it occurred to me how so much of my life has revolved around sound, not just at my work, but all around me. Since I’ve spent most of my life in large cities, the sound doesn’t stop when I come home Read More

WINTER APPROACHETH: OK, I know it’s probably way too early to bring this up. But many of us dread the end of summer. So many of us in the GTA think of the CNE as the end of summer. I know that I do. It occurred to me, though, that as a Read More

I just returned from Florida and a visit with family. My daughter, Lisa, has lived in the U.S. since 1983 and is married to my wonderful son-in-law, Josh. They’ve blessed me with two grandchildren: Noah and Ava. Spending time again with the grand kids reminded me again of how we are Read More

My daughter, Lisa, and her family live in the Orlando area, so I visit as often as I can and continue to call Orlando my second home, having also worked there from 1986 to 2001. I recently returned from my latest visit. It occurred to me that many GTA folks visit the Orlando area and I Read More
