    What is a traqditional New Years for you all?

    t was tradition for a few of us kids to visit the EMERG in Hamilton every New Years day. We would try and ski down the ungroomed hill that we Hamiltonians call a mountain, it's actually The Niagara Escarpment. Not a smart thing to try. Then when we got older hanging around 1000 other Italians...

    If you had a NFL MVP vote today who gets it?

    The NFL has a MVP, most valuable player. The CFL here in Canada has MOP, most outstanding player. The definitions of each are different in my mind. MVP is impact for his team, MOP is numbers. Jackson of the Ravens gets my MVP vote. He is the most valuable player on his team. His talent this...

    Julio Torres. millenial comic

    I watched some of his HBO special last night. I thought I had dropped Acid rather than took my nightly Metformin. For any old Hippies here you might think you are having an Acid flashback. Check him out. I guess this is considered comedy in 2019. I actually chuckled at some of his takes. edit...

    I'm watching some kids protesting in Boston. Many around 8 years young. These kids were in tears asking for breathable fresh air.

    Veggie Burgers, really?

    The food sellers are really pushing these "no meat" all vegetable products up here in Canada. From grocery stores to fast food joints. Same price as real meat products. Most burgers sold frozen and in fast food joints have a ton of filler in them already, and they aren't cheap. A Big Mac, fries...
