I have started another new page for my blog, called TheBayfieldBunch.com. Click on the button to find a weekly collection of great photos taken by my friend and fellow blogger Al Bossence and posted daily at thebayfieldbunch.com. Every day, Al and his doggie Pheebes go on a long trip in the countryside in southern Ontario where Al finds lots of great things to photograph. Al and his wife Kelly are RV nomads in the winter months throughout the U.S. and spend summers in their lakeside resort village of Bayfield, Ontario.

I am a 72-year-old retired journalist, busy recovering from a lifelong career as an unretired journalist. This year marks a half century of my scratching out little fables about life. My interests include genealogy, humour and music. I live in a little blue shack in Canada and spend most of my time trying to stay out of trouble. I am not that good at it. I also spent years teaching journalism. Poor state of journalism today: My fault. I have a family I don't deserve, a dog that adores me, and two cars the junk yard refuses to accept. My prized possessions include my old guitar and a razor my Dad gave me when I was 14 and which I still use when I bother to shave. Oh, and my great-great-grandfather's blackthorn stick he brought from Ireland in the 1850s. I have only one opinion but it is a good one: People take too many showers.
