No complicated recipes to follow or exercises to do.…
Intermittent Fasting is a great way to lose weight. I’ve lost more than forty pounds using it. But when I mention Intermittent Fasting to people as a method of weight loss, a lot of them say that they couldn’t do it. Actually, I used to be one of those people. I thought it was crazy…
Running a marathon is hard. It’s 42.2 kilometers or 26.2 miles. As you cover more of the distance, it gets harder to complete it. The enthusiasm and fun diminish as the pain sets in. And worse, the temptation to stop creeps in the longer you run. That’s why it helps to have “mile markers” or…

I’m a playwright, so why am I putting on a clown piece for the 2018 Hamilton Fringe Festival? Good question. I didn’t have a play ready when it was time to submit to the Fringe Lottery. To be fair, I didn’t have a clown piece ready, either. But I was just wrapping up another Clown…
