Memory

I would love to smell my mother's sour beef and dumplings cooking about now. The eating holidays are still difficult, this year I am not cooking the Thanksgiving dinner. We are going to eat out.

Celebrate

Bring on the cake and ice cream! The tumours in my head are gone, my brain cancer is in remission. My lungs are making progress. This has been a rough and scary year and this victory is welcome news.

Seasonal a

This is the time of year that we hapless consumers are offered an ever growing array of products containing pumpkins and/or the seasonal spices that go with them. While beer is a growing popular medium for pumpkin spice and pie is traditional, I prefer to indulge in a pumpkin doughnut. I don't want pumpkin spice in my coffee or tea either, thanks.
