Just when I thought I was back on track posting columns on a more regular basis… its been almost three weeks since my last column. Sorry.

Ahh... Spring!

Ahh... Spring!

It's finally here! Spring. I went away for the weekend, first flying to Toronto (Boy, are my arms tired!), then taking the train to London.

Holiday Weekend

So, did you enjoy your holiday weekend? The weather, while not what I would call “typical” for this time of year, was better than it has been.
