45 cents. Dad got the 45 cent orange popsicle. Four year old gets the 1.99 ice cream sandwich. Three year old gets the Rollo caramel centre for 2.19 or so. Cheapskate Dad gets the 45 cent treat. Watched the Montreal to Toronto VIA train roll in and out of the station with the kids as melting sugar …

I bought another beer book. I picked up a copy of "Man Walks into a Pub" by Pete Brown on Thursday after noon and it was done by Sunday. Not bad for guy with kiddies. The Guardian said: • “So, as well as the irreverent approach Brown takes to beer's history, he has a refreshingly sensible take …

Directions to the Downtown LCBO in Kingston, Ontario. • I am a lucky guy. The main LCBO in Kingston sits between my work and my car park. When the snow is swirling, a half of East India Sherry might be just the thing. When, like today, Ohio's factories and the earth's axis conspire to make the …

It was a rough drive back from Owen Sound. Newmarket, Whitby and the 401 east stop around exit 462 all failed my goodly wife, the ever patient Ellen, in her quest for a Tim Horton's Iced Cappiccino available via her bank card. I thought it was only on PEI, home of the smallest fritter in the …
