Almost Payne Mountain
Today I had the dubious (!?) pleasure (!?) of snowshoeing with two insane Québécois men. I suppose I should have known better. After all, they don’t call it Payne Mountain for nothing. One point in their favour – they picked … Continue reading

Writing
There are three rules for writing a best-selling book. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are. And so a writer keeps writing. And when the manuscript is done, and passed to one or more people for critique, otherwise knows as … Continue reading
