A Recipe for Disaster. Portrait of Pappy as a young man. I avoid all social media on Mother's and Father's Day. I stay away on the Eve and Boxing Day of both Hallmark holidays too. On the first, I am overwhelmed by feelings of loss and sorrow and for the second I prefer to rejoice without pomp and ceremonious post. I learned this from my father: We are not here simply for ourselves. He revels in other's successes and happiness; he comforts and helps in hard times. TOP TEN LIST OF PAPPY WISDOM. 10) Ask Je...

A Recipe for Disaster. THE FOX IN WINTER. Image Fairytale Fox by Roeselien Raimond. It's been a Snow Lite season in the city so far. I remember my first winter in the Pacific Northwest when I went into climate shock. November it rained twenty out of thirty days. My fingers felt wrinkly and pruned, as if I’d been washing dishes for an eternity; I was certain my feet were becoming webbed. Ldquo;Is this a joke? Rdquo; I asked the locals. I explained how I’d made it to class late for an exam during...That da...

A Recipe for Disaster. YOU MUST BE JOKE. Timing is everything, I've noticed. It's all in the timing: delivering a joke, palming a watch, making a soufflé.or the bigger life events like getting a new job, moving across the country or ending a relationship. What were The Rolling Stones thinking when they sang that time was on their side? I've been thinking about it because I have some time on my hands this summer to return to the memoir, so many books will be gracing the night stand including Sven Birkerts.

A Recipe for Disaster. YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN. Image from http:/ shewhodreams.weebly.com/march- -crow-moon.html. When I was a kid, I couldn't get enough of that old TV trope - a bit of dialogue where someone would repeat themselves (exact same words, same tone) because someone had offered the invitation with a simple "You can say that again.".

YOU NO BELIEVE - Eufemia Fantetti
http://www.eufemiafantetti.com/home/you-no-believe
A Recipe for Disaster. Back when I worked in a big bookstore chain, I used to work every important Eve. Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, April Fool's Day Eve. You get the picture. New Year's Eve we would close up shop at six o'clock. I would annoy the bejesus out of one of my managers by saying "See you next year! As I headed out the door. Yes, I said it. Each time the response was, "That's not funny. Wasn't funny last year and it's really not funny now.". Beware the Idioms of March. My whole life from my ...

A Recipe for Disaster. Image from familyholiday.net. Thank Mother of God, Mother Nature and Mother Goose, the day I dread most is over again for another year. To be clear, I don't spend all my time thinking about Mother's Day, but I do think about my mother much of the time. Most thoughts are tinged with sadness and worry. Some memories are tinted with humour. Here then are a few beautifully written articles that I use as heartbalms; there is one about cutting off contact with a toxic mother. 2013 Danuta...

A Recipe for Disaster. YOU WILL FIND YOUR WAY HOME. I used to spend my Januarys in Sherway Gardens Mall, a shopping centre in the shape of. Two giant hexagons joined together by a small rectangle. In that rat-in-a-maze floor pattern, I happily turned corners for hours on end as a teenager, walking through the labyrinth to find the food court, looking for deals that were a steal. When I was five. I fed pellets to the baby goats and bunnies. I am prone to magical thinking; I thought there was a key to comm...
