Underwear
UNDERWEAR Skivvies, Tighty-Whities, Panties, Knickers, Gautchies…….. I could go on and on. A quick web search reveals dozens and dozens of names for our closest layer of clothing. From the euphemistic Unmentionables to the blatant Booty Bag. Underwear is always funny for some reason with the exception of those dreams where you find yourself in…

In Orbit Around The Greater Toronto Area We did four shows within the Greater Toronto Area ( GTA ) and six just outside it. All were drivable although we made use of hotels frequently. Richmond Hill, Belleville, Barrie, Parry Sound, St. Catherines, Oakville and Mississauga. I have a…

There’s Gotta Be More To It Than That Nope. Not really. I never claimed that this issue was deep and insightful. It was just something I would think about late at night or during the wonderful hour or so after a long run. The perennial mystery of awareness and who or what it is that’s being aware. We…
