May 13, 2018: Our day at the Toronto Comics Art Festival!
Yesterday, Akemi and I checked out one of my favorite events in the city - the annual Toronto Comics Art Festival. It was quite a turn-out at the Toronto Reference Library for the free general admission event showcasing artists, creators and publishers, both mainstream and independent. Well this was a pleasant surprise, coming across artist…
May 12, 2018: 10 Times Richie Rich Was A Dick!
Look, as a foodie, I'm the last person who is going to criticize someone's menu selections. If you want to shell out an extra $50 to top your scallops with Osetra caviar or spend $150 to finish that risotto with white truffle shavings, why not? Who am I to say anything? On my first trip…
May 11, 2018: Mailbag!
Fielding your burning questions... gforce writes: " Have you heard any new info (that you can discuss) about any possible new Stargate series/movie/anything? All news from that seems to have fallen into a wormhole." Answer: I'm out of the loop on the Stargate front. On the heels of the SGO release, Stargate fandom rallied online…

May 7, 2018: Back on the home front!
"You're toothbrush passed away,"Akemi informed me today upon my return home from Montreal. "What happened?"I asked, in several different ways at several different times that afternoon. Her responses were always evasive: "You're going to get a new one." "I didn't do anything." "Just passed away." And, finally: "Commit suicide." I suspect I'll never learn the…
May 6, 2018: And that’s a wrap on Montreal!
Whenever I come back to my hometown of Montreal, I am presented with elements of my past, opportunities and relationships lost and found, decisions made - and some made for me - and always I can't help but think: "What if?". If you had that ubiquitous second chance time machine, what would you change? Would…
May 5, 2018: Lights Out!
So we were twenty minutes away from the end of last night's Dateline mystery, just as the authorities were closing in on the real killer - we lost power. My initial instinctive writerly thought was: "He knows we're on to him!". The windstorm that had assailed Toronto earlier, blowing in store windows and tossing patio…
May 4, 2018: Nothing says Montreal like smoked meat! And friends. Especially going out for smoked meat with friends!
Back in the Stargate days, when I used to come into the office Monday mornings and people would ask me about my weekend, I would simply direct them to the blog. It's always been a fairly simple way to keep tabs on me. So it comes as no surprise that I had no less than…
