So many families are growling at one another. Family member fights family member. I remember when I was a little kid my father — who was under great pressure, which I didn’t and couldn’t comprehend — came up to the kids’ hall and flung all the Christmas presents out onto the floor. We all — […]
The Tim Hortons coffee-and-donut shop has expired. In its place, rising like a drunken phoenix, is the Moulin Rouge bar. The decor is mainly black and red. I’m not sure that the Entertainment District needs another bar — whereas I needed that Tim Hortons. It’s strange that the Timmys went under — every day I […]
Ah Russia, sweet Russia! Still firing them howitzers in the golden-fielded West. Still ignoring the declamations of the rulers of the West! How could they? Russia has three stages to master.

Is there a deal to be made that both sides will accept? There is no point in negotiating if one or both sides is not willing to strike a deal. Salesmen […]
I have the best location in the city of Vancouver. The middle of the Entertainment District. Most nights, you spill onto the street and the city is roaring with twentysomething visitors from outside the District. How many of them, I wonder, will die of a drug overdose? This last week, two residents of my building […]
