Probably the second LondOntLife book, likely in the Spring… Some rambling. It comes together eventually Yes, distribution and promotion remain a part of this. The cartoons just aren’t useful or effective unless they’re being seen, discussed, posted on refrigerators, broken out of the silo… So, we remade the LondOntLife

I consider myself fortunate beyond words for my opportunity to experience life on this planet. I am here for a mere moment in the vast expanse of both time and space, but what a moment. Not only to experience the universe but more particularly the pleasure of appreciating the infinite

When typing for this blog I have often wished I could just think my thoughts at the computer and have them type out on the screen. This, no doubt, has much to do with the fact I am a one finger hunt and peck typist (having been streamed into drafting

The daughter has returned home from University for the summer. We are settling into restoring a bedroom long become a closet for large things. Beneath the bed, in detritus of years, lay the King. Where do the lost socks go? Mysteriously they disappear from the wash and laundry cycle. Or

I am about to break a rule. My Father always told me that bringing up religion or politics is great way to clear a room. Time to test that theory. Just what everyone needs. A rant about God, faith, and belief. It is something that I have been trying to

I was glad this was mostly a tail wind, because below -15 it’s too cold to deal with a head wind all this way. I needed to angle the bike a bit more into the wind, so it wasn’t vulnerable to tipping while I was off it.

# Man with scythe Maybe late 50’s, early 60’s, after we had moved to the Queens Ave house, I would walk along Queens Ave to Queens Place and down that small lane to Lorne Avenue School\. The dirt lane off English Street was more fun, but the bully thugs hung

I felt like it was more a bit of incoherent rambling. 🙂 But I would like to emphasize that LondOntLife is intended as an outlet for local editorial cartoons, by anybody, because Merle Tingley’s presence and inspiration can’t be thrown away.

I spent many of the last few days moving boxes, furniture, and an assortment of household items. Fortunately no appliances to move, so there’s that ray of hope.
