May 19, 2020 The day after Victoria Day is usually taken as the de facto beginning of summer - at least in these parts.You can begin to plant things outside, and look forward to many more warm days on the horizon. It's not exactly the tropics out there today, but I am feeling a little...

T-Shirt A Day - #57
May 18, 2020 I really wonder what the thought process is behind designing a Looney Tunes t-shirt. I have a golf-type one with some characters on the pocket, I have Yosemite Sam (a decidedly American South-West kinda guy) playing hockey, and I have Bugs Bunny here about to break a rack. I don't think I...
T-Shirt A Day - #56
May 17, 2020 Today is a 'numbers' day. Today is my sister Janice's birthday. She is 3 years younger than me, so that would make her 37. Please, send her some love! Today will likely be the day that I will have driven my current vehicle 100,000 kilometres. We got it just under 5 years ago,...
T-Shirt A Day - #55
May 16, 2020 This may come as a surprise to those of you who knew me "back in the day", but I did not go to many rock concerts...I never had a definite FAVOURITE group, or type of music (at least those who were still alive or performing!) My record/cassette/CD/mp3 collection is quite eclectic. I...
T-Shirt A Day - #54
My father performed several jobs during his working career. He worked at a flag manufacturer, he worked at a piano factory (at Richmond and Peter Street, in Toronto - which he discovered, upon visiting me at work one day, was kitty corner to where I worked at the time). He was also a Auxiliary Policeman...
T-Shirt A Day - #53
May 14, 2020 The classic TV sitcom is all but dead. You only have to watch a recent Emmy award ceremony, and it will be a challenge to hear mention of any of the 'original' TV networks, or for me, a show that I actually recognise!. Due to the fact that there are many more...
T-Shirt A Day - #52
May 13, 2020 If you look closely, you'll see that I am wearing another Disney shirt today. You may be thinking, what more could he POSSIBLY have to tell us about that place? You may have known me for a few months, or you may have known me for years, or you may have known...
T-Shirt A Day - #51
May 12, 2020 I'm going to fill you all in on a secret... I have a fondness for Disney. It used to be a surface thing, you know, watching the TV shows with the family on Sunday evening. I did get to the Magic Kingdom back in 1993 for an all-too-brief visit. Then the floodgates...
T-Shirt A Day - #50
May 11, 2020 Today is a milestone. Today is T-Shirt Day number 50. The first shirt I wore 7+ weeks ago was a bit cheeky...it was, “Save Ferris”. Like all of us, I thought 'this' might go on for a few days...a week at most, but...here we are. Today, I have a guest. Caroline joins...
T-Shirt A Day - #49
May 10, 2020 This is quite likely the loudest shirt I own, both in colour and in decibel level. Almost 4 years ago, we took a trip to Brooklyn, Michigan to experience what would be my first 'in-person' Nascar race. I had seen many on television over the years, but this was the first time...
