I woke up early this morning (5:30 am) and it was snowing! A week or so ago we had a record high of about 27° C, and this morning it was snowing. The snow was gone by mid-morning, but it is a wake-up call that it is still early Spring here in Southern Ontario, and…

From the Niagara Falls Review: April will mark 18 years since I moved to Niagara Falls, and while we haven’t always seen eye to eye I’ve never loved the actual falls more. I’m convinced everyone who moves here has a relationship with our namesake in three stages. First is infatuation: You can’t believe you can…
