As I write this, I’m on a plane to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and I’m not afraid to tell you that I am wearing my matching black Adidas Tiro 24 Competition Sweatsuit that I bought in LA last month, with the complementing Adidas Tiro 24 Competition Windbreaker over it, and my shiny white hi-tops. Me! Me,…

I’m writing this literally in flight on the Monday night redeye from LA to Toronto, but God knows when I’ll have the strength and time to post it. Let’s see if I can get through this painful rehashing of a lost weekend in as few words as possible. I truly doubt it. SATURDAY I could’ve…

No cheating. If you haven’t read PART ONE, you can’t read PART TWO. Some of my fellow Canadians have said to me “Virgil” they said “Aren’t you worried about going south of the border during this fraught and fractious time?” I hesitate to get political in these pages but… the short answer is no.…

I listen to podcasts. I walk to and from work every day. That’s how I keep my girlish figure, don’t you know! It’s 4.3 kilometers (about 3 miles) as the crow flies, but… you know… not a crow so… takes me a little less than an hour each way. And just like the mailman, neither…

Wow. Where do I begin. I can’t believe I’m writing this blog right now. I so should be sleeping. I played poker for 15 and a half straight hours yesterday. I got home at 3:45 AM. And I’ve got to play day 2 at 11:00 AM today. And I’ve slept literally two hours. But first…
