I was never supposed to survive to see my 58th Birthday. But even when things looked the bleakest, Ana Tigre refused to believe that my health issues could not be turned around. In 2001 I was in congestive heart failure, needed a transplant and was told I would never... -
Do Not Go Gentle Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do... -
I remember my first suit-wearing job. I was 18 years old at the time and the father of the most beautiful and fun-loving little girl in the world. I was also skinny. If I stood sideways and stuck out my tongue I could be mistaken for a zipper. What... -
I have a friend that’s wired a little different than most. Not the sew flowers on your blue jeans and never wear deodorant kind of different, although I know a few of those too; Tom Richardson just sees things more clearly than the average guy. I was talking to... -
Ana and I just took a shot and unexpected vacation to St Maarten/St Martin for 5 days and had the time of our life. Then we got home. As the avalanche of calls, texts, emails and pressing things to do hit us we took a huge step back, shut... -

At 5 pm yesterday Ana and I and six other couples walked out of a government building, the institutional kind reeking of a we-have-no-budget-for-that kind of frugalism. The kind of place that immaculately dressed politicians and their clambering entourages never set foot in, yet the building, and the work... -
I don’t miss the notoriously harsh Canadian winters. I met my first when I was four months old and saw the tail end of it about six months later. We didn’t see eye to eye then, and still don’t to this day. Imagine yourself in a deep sleep enveloped...
Mom had errands today and I had the day off. The kitchen table became a private jet and we flew to Brazil to the rain forrest.
They all had backpacks filled with camping and adventure gear and adventure hats.
When they landed they rode their bikes to the rain forrest (our back
