Thank you, Mother Nature, for such a lousy Easter weekend outdoors. At least you spared Sunday and couldn’t foul up some indoor fun. It was a busy weekend around the Corcoran household, although it would have been busier had we had a little more sunshine....

We ate some of the best burgers ever on Sunday, and I had nothing to do with them, except for the dishes afterwards. Yes, I bet they’d have been even better on the Big Green Egg, but Mary Beth offered to do them on a cast iron griddle inside. Who was I to...

When you take the effort to be the designated driver, you should be rewarded, right? I’m not talking fanfare or anything like that. How about just feeling better the next morning than you might have had you consumed alcohol? On Saturday, we went over to the...

An interesting item popped up in my Facebook feed recently: a request to take a survey to provide input on the 2019 municipal budget. Sure, I thought, I’d love to give my opinion. So I clicked on the LetsTalkChatham-Kent.ca link, registered and got started....
