Groundhog celebrity Wiarton Willie didn't see his shadow last weekend so we're expecting an early spring which means another 6 weeks of winter...right. Hey, it's incentive! I think my friends in Cali just laugh every time I mention the cold harsh-ish winters we get here. I start getting antsy … [Read more...]
The Reader

One day while downtown, I picked up a copy of Margaret Atwood's "Alias Grace" and set about reading it on my break.I devoured it. Margaret Atwood is a … [Read more...]
Summer, You Ain’t So Bad

A rare glimpse of Picasso’s Private Collection at the AGO
I wasn't surprised that my youngest son had done some Picasso inspired artwork in his classroom. Picasso is very appealing to children with bold features in his paintings and the use of everyday objects in his sculptures. What I was surprised about was how much info he has retained on the artist and … [Read more...]
