It’s been a few weeks since we were at my cousin’s cottage. Life is back to normal. Work is busy. Home life is busy. The air is getting cooler. Everything seems to be rushing by. And every now and then, I find myself thinking about sitting at the dock. Enjoying that quiet. The cottage quiet.…

Many community theatres have designated folks or teams that work on set building. The Peninsula Players puts out a call to whoever is available on the set building weekends. And folks that…
It’s Labour Day weekend. Hard to believe that the summer is over already. It went by so quickly. Instead of whining it about it being over, I should appreciate what we were able to do. Deb and I fit in a lot of things over the past few weeks. Hung out with friends. Saw shows.…
