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 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.

Clever Criminals Exist Everywhere!

Posted on September 7, 2016 by Chris Cane

Yes I borrowed this from somewhere. I spent a bunch of time looking for the original source of this posting and I failed. It seems that many others before me “borrowed” this list. True or false, I found it enlightening.   LONG – TERM PARKING Some people left their car in the long-term parking at

That’s Nice

Posted on April 30, 2016 by Chris Cane

It was many years ago when I returned home on a Saturday afternoon to see that our neighbor’s home had a scaffold in the driveway with the top of the scaffold just below their living room window. To describe the scene properly, their driveway led to a garage which was below the living room. The scaffold

The Blind Date or How I met your Mother?

Posted on April 12, 2016 by Chris Cane

Most of our friends know that Cheryl, my first wife, my only wife and now my wife of forty years, and I met on a blind date. Very few know the details of that first evening. We were nineteen; it was August 6, 1966. Roger Pelletier, my best friend at the time and Annabelle Altro, Cheryl’s

The Great Storm of 71 – Fundy National Park – Camping with Chris & Cheryl

Posted on March 18, 2016 by Chris Cane

This is an excerpt from the Chapter called ‘The Mainland’ in a book I wrote back in 2004. Most of our trip to the mainland has been forgotten except for our trip to Fundy National Park. The Bay of Fundy is like a funnel open to the sea. When the tide comes in the water

Canadians: “BUILD A DAMN FENCE!”

Posted on March 7, 2016 by Chris Cane

The Manitoba Herald Goes Viral The Manitoba Herald was a Canadian newspaper that had a short life. It was published only from January to August of 1877. But, “Google ” Manitoba Herald ” and you’ll find an article, supposedly by one Clive Runnels, about the influx of American liberals to Canada, that has gone viral

A farmer’s advice and the ten commandments

Posted on February 11, 2016 by Chris Cane

Perhaps the Ten Commandments are a little out of date. As an atheist, I really don’t give a hoot about having more than one god, as I don’t have one in the first place. The graven image thing and the lord’s name in vain mean little to me. I am a big believer in thou

It ALMOST never snows in Cincinnati

Posted on January 20, 2016 by Chris Cane

I’ve lived in Montreal, Toronto, Goose Bay Labrador, Cape Dyer on Baffin Island on the DEW Line. In my wildest dreams could I have anticipated life here in Cincinnati when it snows! Yes, we have had one or two, maybe three, what I would call serious snow falls in the last SEVENTEEN YEARS, we’ve lived

Thank you for your advice and help.

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Chris Cane

As we approach the end of another month – I want to thank all of you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery. I no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel, or have the waitress put lemon slices
