Gill is back, and she’s talking about food. She’s also making me want pizza and cupcakes. I’ve always liked Topper’s. It’s definitely on the better end of the takeout/delivery scale. Carin, Brad, Trixie and I ordered from there back on New Year’s Eve. Yes, Trixie. the little shit helped herself to a slice of the …

Black History Minute
And now, Gill takes a moment to honour this month and remember a good friend. A Comment Made By Eric A few years back I was talking to my friend Eric about different things, and the subject of time travel somehow made its way in to our chat. I asked him if there was ever …
A Guest Post And A Note About Yesterday’s Unexpected Disappearance
This was meant to go up yesterday, but two things happened. 1. I was flattened by some sort of unpleasantness that woke me up in the middle of the night. I’m still not quite over it though I feel miles better than I did. 2. Some tech issues flattened the website for several hours yesterday, …

Those Holiday Classics

Twas The Holiday Photo
