Canada the 51st state? Not on our lives.
I was one of 10 writers from the Great Big White North who contributed a chapter to this fine volume. My essay was titled "Canada the 49th: The True North, Strong and Free! The View of America From Windsor, Ontario.”

On the day we celebrated my brother's life, I learned Rush announced they are touring again. I think Dave would have approved. I plan to bring his Snakes and Arrows t-shirt to the Toronto show.
Let's all celebrate the moment, as it turns into one more.

Here’s a view of a trail near my place.

Italo Calvino, who shuffled off this moral coil on this day in 1985, was one of the greats.

May We All Use Our Voice On Hockey Like Ken Dryden Did By Avry Lewis-McDougall

New for Avrysports:

Ken Dryden will forever be one of the greatest goalies in NHL history, but his stance on concussions and how we can improve player safety will always be one of the greatest things he never backed down on. A king in using your platform for good.
