"Tim Hortons" It all depends on where you are in time and space, as to what this means. If you're in Cochrane, Ontario in 1930, you're likely at the Horton household, where Miles Gilbert "Tim" Horton was born. Tim played for the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1949 to 1970, and then a few short stints...
T-Shirt A Day - #58
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,...

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...

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...
