The Way I Wear My Hat. Top Story - January 2024.
I sat with my hats today, trying to decide their homes. If you hang your hats on a wall, there’s joy in seeing their style & grace: the fabrics, feathers, buttons & bows! But also - some hats attract so much dust that when you take them off the hook to wear to the Easter Parade, they make you sneeze & cough.

A Field of Daffodils Bobbing Their Heads in the Sunshine
Curiosity is about having a sense of wonder. It's about going wide-eyed into the world, the one outside and the one within.

Drunk Acting
I suspect that 95% of all movies have some form of tippling in them. This list barely scratches the surface of drunk performances but let's begin with an award (or two) for the Best Drunk Acting in a motion picture.

Sapphire Amethyst Topaz
“Poppy pods and roses bloom, fly me now beyond the moon.” She intones this spell as if it were a prayer, and then, she's off: a little blonde girl jumping from the carport roof with an open umbrella in her hand.

That Time Doris Day Hit the Fan. Top Story - October 2023.
My older brother let me in on secret joke when I was eight years old. It was a visual bit of comedy, all its humorous genius revealed with paper and pencil. The day after he showed this joke to me I demonstrated it for the kids in my grade three class while the teacher was out of the room. I had the best venue: the blackboard.

National Coming Out Day
Trans individuals are currently under attack by far-right organizations that are actively spreading disinformation about them. In the US, bans on trans healthcare are being passed into law, thereby seeking to eradicate trans folks altogether.

The True Story of a Maverick Canuck Track & Field Star
When we reach Anarchist Summit, my mother pulls over and stops the car. The view of the Okanagan Valley is magnificent but that's not what we're here for. My mother reaches beneath her seat and pulls out a twenty-sixer of rye and a small bottle of 7UP.

Yoga is a Beautiful Thing
“You’ll meet your neighbours tonight.” The teacher means we’re so close to each other that we might touch, even though we're mostly strangers. At the very least there will be eye contact.

Got a Light?
The lighting of a cigarette in a movie can indicate a fire in the soul - or in the loins. Smoke swirling in the air evokes a mysterious atmosphere or adds romantic ambience to a cinematic creation.

Uncle Ben’s Sun-Ray Club . Runner-Up in Writers Challenge. Top Story - August 2023.
The topic was “How I Spent My Summer Vacation”. Boring, right? Unless, like me, you'd had the most enchanted vacation of all time.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Holly Golightly should've been more screwed up and Paul should've been gay, just as Capote wrote those characters. Still, there are gems in this flick: Moon River, earrings that sparkle for miles, Givenchy gowns, Cat. And then, Mickey Rooney spoils it all with his monumentally ill-conceived portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi.
