Wayne Robson Has Been Stolen From Us. I’ll Bet Mike Hamar Did It

Red Green regular Wayne Robson dies He was 64. He had a million different film, television and theatre credits that I was pretty much completely unaware of. The main thing I remember him for is probably the same thing most others do, playing ex-con Mike Hamar on The Red Green Show. When I posted this …

At Our Resting Place

It’s been a bad weekend for Canadian entertainers. FirstRoger Abbott,and nowTerry Sumsion.Strangely enough, both were 64, both died of horrible diseases (Abbott of leukemia and Sumsion from cancer), and both, as best I can tell, passed away on Saturday the 26th of March.

Rob Mask’s Memorial In Fergus

Edit: It’s in Fergus, not Elora. Damn me for not googling first. I heard it would be in Elora, so I thought this place was there. Apparently not. I know the towns are close, but close doesn’t cut it if you’re lost. Remember back when I posted Robert Mask’s obituary and we didn’t know when …

Odds And Ends And Updates

I had a few random thoughts on some things, so figured I’d throw ’em together and make a small post. Remember back when I said I would switch Trixie’s food? Well, the switch is complete, and boy does she seem to love her new food. Holy hell. She will suck that stuff back like it’s …
