Canadian Cold!
Went out with Keeba and of course she couldn’t take the bitter minus 20 C for more than a minute or two. When I picked her up to bring back inside and to avoid the loads of salt on the walkway, my hands got wet and as I grabbed the door handle to enter the lobby my skin almost stuck to the metal. That’s what you call Canadian cold! And its a good idea to avoid allowing your dog to sniff metal posts and grates and so on in this freezing temperature. Feeling for the Homeless!
Happy Birthday to Me!
In Memory
“There are not enough Josephs in the world!” John Deacon

“Joseph was a soldier. Him know him gonna fall one day!” Delroy, my Jamaican neighbor sitting in the lobby making the motions as he speaks fondly.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Everyone! The last couple of years I haven’t taken Keeba to my daughter’s for Christmas. She’s stayed with a good friend, as I don’t drive and the GO Transit did not allow pets up until recently. Continue reading “Happy New Year!”
Farewell Joseph. My heart is broken! Never again will I hear your knock a my door and it saddens me so I can barely breath. Rest in Peace.
Pot and Plastic Pollution
With the legalization of Marijuana in its current state, Canada has opened the gate-way to becoming one of the world’s leading contributor of single-use plastic pollution.
THE DREAM
Note: I started to write this story immediately after having a vivid dream in 2012, scribbling words down upon awakening on that Friday, April 13th, typing it up a few months later when Joseph gave me the laptop that I still use to this day. It has been edited and viewed by myself on numerous occasions over the years and is now four pages in final embellished state. As are the recollections of one’s dreams, the memories are not perfectly clear, hence the abundance of fragmented sentences within. This was back when I first moved into a Toronto Housing unit from the homeless shelter. Continue reading “THE DREAM”
Reflection Selfie.
Putting the horns on! (From my archive. All the photos in this website are taken by me and the majority with my six-year-old some-what reliable Samsung Tablet. The one I dropped a long time ago and has kept on going despite the badly cracked screen.)
Should have taken my time!
“This one goes out to the one I love…to the one(s) I left behind,” R.E.M.
Been having a problem with my left knee for the past couple weeks, shouldn’t be running at all as it gave out on me twice already, once while racing to catch the bus at a busy intersection and I was lucky I caught myself before falling. Wasn’t so fortunate today! Continue reading “Should have taken my time!”
