Weekly Poll: Snow Removal
Those who were dreaming of a white Christmas were pretty disappointed last month. As you’ll recall, unseasonably high temperatures resulted in the closure of numerous outdoor rinks, and made for near perfect driving conditions over the holidays.

I hate to sound boring, but can you believe the weather we’re having. One day it’s gorgeous enough for shorts, and the next we’re forced to bring our mittens and toques out of the shortest retirement in history.

Is it just me, or did Old Man Winter give us a nasty jab over the past few days? Although complaining about the inevitable freeze is going to get me nowhere, I have to protest that I am not looking forward to the months ahead. Sure I have a birthday coming up, and then there’s [...]

Die Winter Die
Last week, I was vacationing on the southern shore of Jamaica. It was a dream come true, and something my wife and I had been looking forward to for a long time. Sandy beaches, warm ocean waves, and a healthy mix of frosty alcoholic beverages served at a swim-up bar made for an unforgettable adventure. [...]
