I’ve never been a breast man. To be perfectly honest, I’ve always been more of a leg guy. Well, up until that restaurant opened up a couple of blocks from my house, way back when we were living in Montreal. I don’t remember its name or what else was on… Read more ⇢

I knew little about the place. I thought I had heard something about it being a comfort food restaurant but, given that it was located only steps from Lucky Diner, Yaletown’s premiere comfort food eatery, I assumed I’d heard wrong. I arrived at a little after 6:00 p.m. to a… Read more ⇢

“So, it’s books now,”remarked Brad, looking over the scifi library in my office, the titles, ranging from Adams’s The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy to Zelazny’s My Name is Legion, alphabetically arranged across three bookshelves.
