Happy Saturday! (I hope your Friday the 13th was a good one!) Based on the emails I’ve been getting in the last week or two, several of you have noticed that I haven’t done my regular Saturday posts for a couple weeks now. So, I thought I’d bang out a quick one to let y’all […]

Happy Saturday! So, I was in the middle of writing a post for Monday about an imminent new release and suddenly realized I still hadn’t written this morning’s post. Crap! Some of the research for that post had me looking at something that happened in the late spring of 1980. As most of you know,

Happy Saturday, A couple of Saturdays ago, I asked for your suggestions for what to put in a goodie bag for a grown-up’s goodie bag. And, you obliged, in spades! Although, believe me, this might be the most expensive goodie bag in the history of goodie bags. But, it would make the party and the

Happy Saturday! Some of you are aware that Tracy and I, for health concerns, shifted to eating a whole-food, plant-based diet in August 2021. If you’re aware of that, chances are you’re aware of just how good the results have been. In the seven months since we started, we’ve both removed all of the negative

Happy Saturday! Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. Still going strong at 86. So tomorrow, we’re headed over to mum and dad’s for birthday cake and coffee. My two brothers and their wives will also be there. We’ll have a few laughs and celebrate my dad being here for another trip around the sun. Remember having

Happy Saturday! When I woke up this morning and hopped on Twitter, I discovered it’s Catherine O’Hara’s birthday today. Then, when I jumped on the IMDB, I found that, actually, her birthday was yesterday (March 4th). It’s entirely possible I have different memories of Catherine O’Hara than many of you. She’s become well known for

Happy Saturday! This past Tuesday was being touted on social media as “Twosday” because it was 2/22/22. It was also the 25th Annual Birthaversary. If you’re unfamiliar with the Birthaversary, I wrote about it here. It was a quiet day. There are still restrictions in place up here. The primary of which, in regards to

Happy Saturday! As many of you know, I’m a big hockey fan. In particular, I’m an Edmonton Oilers fan. I’ve followed the team since 1979, their inaugural NHL season. Back when Wayne Gretzky was in his prime and setting records left, right, and center, I was a bartender and we always had the game on

Happy Saturday! This has been the craziest week I’ve had in a long time! First and foremost, I’ve been writing my butt off. I finished the full first draft of a thriller serial. I finally got my new glasses, so I can see the screen crystal clear again. I’ve just put eight books into my

Happy Saturday! DIET stands for “Did I Eat That?” Congratulations to Paul, Sandy, Dina, Sherrie, and Bill for guessing correctly last weekend that Tracy and I are the vegans. (The five of you should keep an eye on your inbox in a couple weeks. There may be a little something special show up. Shhhh…don’t tell

This summer, we had to put new shingles on our house. Our next door neighbor, as it happens, does that for a living. As does his son. So, being good neighbors, we hired them to do it. During the course of conversation with the father one evening, I mentioned that my wife, Tracy, and I

Happy Saturday! People fascinate me. At least half the time, we don’t know why we do what we do. I suspect the other half of the time, we’re operating on autopilot and don’t care why we do what we do. Last week, I had a devil of a time coming up with a post to
