    Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?

    Being from Toronto, I have met John Candy too as well as all of the other comedians he was associated with, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Marty Short, Catherine O'Hara and Dave Thomas. Aside from Levy, they all used to go to mass at St. Basil's on the University of Toronto campus and they were all...

    Safari & Colonial Wear & Equipment (photos from Harrods & Gamages Catelogues)

    Beautiful scans. I love the fact that you can buy all you need for the tropics including the firearm of your choice. So civilized.

    Bad Table Manners

    As I said, I am not convinced it is at all the truth. There is no one that can corroborate any facts at all except a couple of these family members whom no one believes. There is a lot of eye rolling though, haha. I have met impoverished aristocrats many times, Canada has a lot of them, and...

    The Congressional Medal of Honor

    Sorry Coffee no idea. A google search produced nothing when I checked it a while ago. The other thing is it's called the Medal of Honor officially.

    Old Hollywood Charm School & Voice Lessons?

    You have a great radio voice. Very musical and nice to listen to. Good luck with the the radio show. You're just not used to hearing it. Don't worry you'll be great.

    Bad Table Manners

    I guess the point is, bad manners stem from a lack of basic courtesy and respect for others. People like that never get any respect from anyone because they don't give it which ironically is the one thing that they demand from others. I have met so many people who receive huge amounts of...

    Bad Table Manners

    O no. He is very much part of the family and should know better. The funny thing is he likes to tell us about his privileged upbringing and how manners work. I think he must have an entitlement complex where everything he does is fine, but everyone else has to follow his rules. I'm not a...

    The Congressional Medal of Honor

    I once visited Westpoint and was told by many of the personnel I met there that the Medal of Honor was so highly regarded that even though it is not required by military law, when a recipient enters the room, everyone, including the commander will snap to attention. This is apparently instilled...

    Why Do I Love The Dutch?

    Huge understatement. As a Canadian, visiting Holland is a real eye opener. From the moment you land, you get special treatment. We had small Canadian flags on our bags in the customs line. An official came right up to us, asked if we were Canadian, looked at our passports and walked us...

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    That was 40 years ago, i admit, but I can't believe evolution has proceeded so quickly that kids today are no longer capable of coming up with something like that on their own. The problem is that they aren't *allowed* to. Spot on. Kids aren't even allowed to go down the street by themselves...

    Maui Jim is it a good Sunglasses brand ?

    Maui Jims are very nice sunglasses. A little pricey, but they have a nice fit and lens view. I have a friend who has now broken his 2nd pair by sitting on them and twisting the frame, and he got free replacements, twice. He didn't even think they had a guarantee but the store said that they...

    Old smells, that immeditately transport you back in time?

    Waffles and cotton candy. Like the first not the last but the smells are great and take me back to the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto when I was a kid and we would go on all the carnival rides.

    Bad Table Manners

    I always get irritated with one particular family member who always gets upset if we don't wait for him to start eating, even thought he is perpetually late and makes everyone wait. When he is (rarely) on time, he will take the best seat, regardless of the event and his importance at it. He...

    D-day + 24,471

    So true. It feels like it was not that long ago at all. Especially since I am lucky enough to know people who fought in the war. I told one of them the other day that I am proud to be a descendant of that generation that put personal issues aside for the greater good of all. I am humbled and...

    Bars in Venice, Italy

    Venice is really tricky. On the one hand, you are in the greatest country in the world for food and drink, but Venice is a super tourist trap with everything costing a small fortune. A 10 minute drive out of the city would give you food and drink delights you would have dreams about for years...

    What we have to put up with!

    Why not rise above and totally ignore this crap. It will go away quicker if you do. Fedora loungers don't need to lower themselves, even if it is satire or a joke.
