Adam Plimmer is Adam Paul? 12
Just when you thought Adam Plimmer’s career as an Optician was finished, he has shown his persistence by changing the sign on his store from “King West Opticians” to “Adam Paul & Associates Opticians”. His new sign is even using the same black and white colour scheme as his next door tenant, who is an ...

I made it! 7
Last night I successfully completed my 260K for Kids ride. I have to admit that I underestimated the difficulty of the feat, and I don’t plan on doing anything like this again for a while. The first 2.5 hours of the ride were amazing; the wind was on my back, and I was maintaining a ...

Immune to Homelessness
Walking to work today I discovered how I’ve become immune to homelessness living in the city. A younger guy wearing a hooded sweater and unshaven face walked toward me this morning. Before he even spoke I was about to say “Sorry, I don’t have change”, as my default response to the many panhandlers I encounter ...
Toronto of America 6
This year has been a bad year for the city of Toronto as the number of gun murders keeps climbing. Most gun murders in Toronto have been gang related, but just today there was a deadly shooting spree a few blocks from my house at a shopping mall on one of the busiest shopping days ...
