When I was a kid on 'The Farm on the Fifth', I was lucky to be invited by my friend Sharron Pat Kelly, and her family to camp with them on Beausoleil Island on Georgian Bay.

I think we only went fishing at the bridge twice and caught nothing. I don’t even k... Read More

Steamy here this morning. We were out of bananas so I sent Bluffo out to find some. After several hours I am becoming concerned that Bluffo hasn't returned. I don't know why, on this particular morning it worries me - but it does.

I am fretting.

It is typical of Bluffo to go off into the jungle in search of bananas, monkeys or blowfish and not return for hours -sometimes days. An unsettling feeling has come over me this morning, perhaps because it has been pouring rain all ni... Read More
