We have our Marriage License!

Just got our License!-in front of City Hall

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."

We humans are hardwired to fight

Globe and Mail newspaper-May 28, 2014

Fighting is in our nature as Homo Sapiens so I disagree with the author of this piece. Of course smart people fight not with guns and knives but with our brains and hearts but fight we must. Every minute, every hour, throughout our lives.

We fight survive as a species. We fight to protect our planet. We fight to protect our loved ones. We fight to keep food on the table. We fight to maintain our individuality, our sanity, our direction. We fight and fight and fight. Occasionally we fight with our friends, loved ones , and our neighbours. Some of us are more efficient at fighting than others but the fact is that all of us fight.

So does fighting shorten our lives? Not necessarily. Stress shortens our lives. Anger shortens our lives. But both stress and anger are controllable so what we, you and me, need to constantly strive to fight 'smarter'.

Lovely Heritage facade

BCE Place - downtown Toronto - today


Regrettably, the Cro-magnons tore down the building!

No, this was not an attack on women (or on men)

My heart goes out to all the families of the victims (including the shooter's family) but...

Why is it that everytime some disturbed person kills (usually with a gun) a woman the various Leagues of Gender Fanatics , whose membership includes women and men, leap to their feet and begin shouting about a war on women (or men). Get a grip people, this mentally ill man didn't discriminate during his shooting spree. If you members of the LGF want to be outraged then take out your anger on the National Rifle Association and others who are responsible for America's gun culture.

Give her flowers... just because

Flowers for the love of my life - why today? - "Just because" - Toronto - May 24

Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.

Having a muffin with my grandkids

My grandchildren one morning and me, 3000 miles and a lifetime away, having a muffin at McDonalds this morning


"A part of you has grown in me.
And so you see, it's you and me
Together forever and never apart,
although in distance, but never in heart."
