Queen Elizabeth and the Isetta

Posted on September 9, 2022 by Chris Cane

In high school, I was president of the Drama Club and one year we put on a British play, my brain is scrambling to remember the name of the play. The story that follows is still funny and TRUE. The play requires a picture of the queen to be on the wall of the set.

The Coronation

Posted on September 9, 2022 by Chris Cane

I did write a book a few years ago and it opens with this tale of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The book is still available at Amazon and a few other online stores. Even WH Smith in the UK used to have it! I was six years old; the year was 1953 and

The Dinner Party

Posted on January 1, 2021 by Chris Cane

We hosted a dinner party for all our friends, some of whom we hadn’t seen for ages and everyone was encouraged to bring their children along as well. (Sorry, if you were not invited.) All throughout dinner my wife’s best friend’s four-year-old daughter stared at me as I sat opposite her. The girl could hardly

Ask your doctor about Cabernet Sauvignon?

Posted on November 25, 2020 by Chris Cane

Here are the initial survey questions. Please answer them accurately and honestly. Do you have feelings of inadequacy? Do you suffer from shyness? Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive? If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is the safe, natural way

Canadians at War in Korea

Posted on June 12, 2018 by Chris Cane

Back in the late eighties, we lived in Saint Charles, Illinois, and our daughters attended Saint Charles High School.  Amy, our elder kid was in AP History and on one particular day, the teacher was introducing her class to the Korean War. Amy came home that day to tell us about a funny happening that

My Annual Apology (What’s the Pont?)

Posted on December 4, 2017 by Chris Cane

I first posted this back in 2010. It is a little dated, but my apology in 2017 is much the same. I’m afraid I don’t change much from year to year. Maybe next year I’ll change the introduction a little. Please read on. I added the photo of the Pont Neuf so that the “What’s the pont?”

The Little Engine That Couldn’t – Not just a children’s story anymore!

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Chris Cane

It was the night before Labor Day and all through the city of Cincinnati… Each Labor Day weekend, on the Sunday evening, thereof, the city of Cincinnati has its largest fireworks display of the year, and each year hundreds of thousands of humans fight for an optimal place to watch the event.

The other side is where it is!

Posted on August 13, 2017 by Chris Cane

As a British born Canadian living in the USA, I’m not sure I agree with this, in some ways I could not fail to disagree with it less. Siamese twins walk into a bar in Canada and park themselves on a bar stool. One of them says to the bartender, “Don’t mind us; we’re joined

Towing a Mini Cooper – Good idea? – Sure! Why not?

Posted on June 19, 2017 by Chris Cane

It was 2005 and Cheryl and I had owned our Mini Cooper S since early 2003. For a couple of years we had been towing that poor little car behind our motor home and traveling great distances. Cars behind motor homes suffer as they are bomarded with stone chips, mud and other debris kicked up by the

Are you older than dirt? (I am)

Posted on June 3, 2017 by Chris Cane

I received an email from an OLD friend the other day and I thought I’d post it here. I guess by the definition below that I’m older than dirt but I don’t [always] feel that way!
