Neighbourhood Business

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – June 23, 2004 – I live in one of Toronto’s east end neighbourhoods called Riverdale. It’s 10 minutes by car to the city centre – 5 minutes to The Beaches, half an hour to the airport, 15 minutes to my office and 45 minuets to get clear out of the city. It’s a friendly (not intrusive) – tolerant, gentrified (not snobby) part of the city.

Watering My Garden

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – June 20, 2004 – I have an extremely busy afternoon with clients, so I got up early so I could look after The Alphabet Boys and then have breakfast in my garden. I sat out on the deck with Augie and drank my coffee and munched on fresh fruit, toast and cheese.

Better Late Than Never

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – June 18, 2004 – Canadians pay a lot of taxes. We’re also extremely fortunate to have a country with a responsible social safety net – hence the heavy tax burden. It’s coming up to the third week of June and sometime in July we (as a nation) will hit “tax free day”.
