And now, a few Remembrance Day words from Gill. This summer I had an opportunity to have an audience with my mom’s cousin, a retired nurse, and the unofficial family historian. I learned some interesting facts about relatives I never knew, or knew little of. Robert Alexander Budd Hewgill 1909-1984 Like I have said in …

An Update From The Land Of Brad And Trix
I’m so glad Brad did this update, complete with pictures. Now we can catch up on the life of Trix, which is still pretty good. Take it away, Brad. Rumour has it that it’s been quite some time since we last heard how good Ole Trixie is doing. Well my hound-loving blog readers, we’re about …
Fifteen Years On
Before we get to Gill, a couple of things: 1. I used to think it was kind of lame that my birthday is right before Christmas, but I can’t imagine it being on 9/11. That sure would suck now. 2. All the best to everyone today. Even after all this time, for some folks it …
Project Fun
Seems Gill has been out doin’ stuff and wants to tell us about it. Hello this is Agent 21 with an assignment for all of you readers out there. Your assignment if you choose to take it is to have fun! How do you complete said mission? I guess I’ll have to tell you, won’t …

Super Heroes
And now, a few words from Gill. Be safe, everyone. When I was a kid I used to watch shows with well defined good and evil. He Man fought Skeletor, Bionic Six had Herim Scarem, and Inspector Gadget had Dr. Claw. Grown Up When I started making my way through the vortex of chaos known …
Who I Am
It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard from Gill, but today she sent this. When I was younger I tossed the word pacifist around as if it were just a football for practice. I never considered what got me, or who brought me to this place. The Footsteps before In previous blogs on Remembrance …
Boston Strong!
It’s been a while, but Gill mailed me this this morning. Is it wrong that I have absolutely no memory of where I was when this happened or that today is the second anniversary of it? I’m not trying to belittle the situation (sometimes I fail to belittle things), but I’ve been searching my brain …
Lunch With My Dad
Been a while since we’ve heard from Gill, but here she is. On Friday February 27th I went to this restaurant in the town I grew up in called The Bruce Street Wine Bar with my dad. To really know him we must do some history. Humble Beginnings In September of 1943 war raged in …
