I think I’m ready to quit. There’s more that I can do, but I think I’ve done all that I want to do. Of course, I’m talking about my book, A Fisherman’s Tale. What did you think I was talking about? Every time I read through the manuscript, I find something to change. Sometimes it’s…

Every Move You Make. . .
It was an interesting observation of human behaviour. On Saturday, I was driving to a funeral in New Brunswick when it happened. I was going the speed limit-ish, which seemed to annoy some of the drivers behind me because several cars pulled out to pass. What was annoying to me was that as soon as…
Let it Go!
He was probably really cute! Recently a Massachusetts family discovered that the puppy they rescued on the side of the road was actually a baby coyote. The family said they found the pup wandering and distressed on the side of the road but soon realized that it wasn’t domesticated. The Cape Wildlife Centre confirmed that…
