The Blame Game

The Blame Game. We've all played it from one time or another, trying to pin the reasons for our bad behavior on somebody else. It's my parent's fault, my friend's fault, society's fault; it must be, because I'm not to blame for how I behave.Gabrielle Nagy has taken it to the next level and has…

Off to see the Queen

Penn of DennPastor G, Pastor G, where have you been? I've been to Halifax to visit the Queen. Pastor G, Pastor G, what did you there? . . . Well, I didn't chase a mouse right under her chair and I have no idea how the silly cat got past all the security in the…

I am Smitten

I have been smitten! As most of you know, there is another woman in my life and she is absolutely gorgeous. A blue-eyed blonde, she already has me wrapped around her little finger. So it looks like Angela is going to have to share me, and she doesn't seem to mind. No, we aren't moving…

I’m Loving It!

I spoke with a lady a while back, who told me she had never eaten at a McDonalds, ever! Never, not even once. She had never eaten a McChicken, a Big Mac, an Egg McMuffin or McDonalds' Fries. I didn't know that such a person existed in Canada. I mean, think about it, how could…

Rat? What Rat?

It has been said that one man's meat, is another man's poison and obviously one man's art, is another man's graffiti.

Part of the crew's mandate, was to remove all graffiti…

What seems right isn’t always
