Everything is so much different, yet too much the same these days. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a strange experience so far for all of us. You seek a sense of normalcy, but know nothing is really normal right now. A trip to the office in the morning shows...

Bruce Uncorked Just some musings during the COVID-19 “funfest” that is the reality these days. And remember, I’m sarcastic. We Corcorans and other Chatham Voice staff are practising social distancing. We haven’t had more than three staff in the office...

Some folks are rather shocked to see that others had continued to travel in recent weeks, even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic announcement. I mean, we live in Chatham-Kent. How else will COVID-19 come here? Sure enough, the first two cases for C-K were...

Super Bowl Sunday came and went this past weekend, and for the first time in probably 40-plus years, I did not watch the game. We gave up satellite television a few years back, as we don’t watch enough TV to justify the expense. But that means for major...

OK, we finally did it. We went to the Centro Wood-Fired Kitchen, a restaurant on St. Clair Street that opened up late last fall to much fanfare. It was a belated celebration of Mary Beth’s birthday, delayed as she had endured a nasty cough for about six...

What a weekend, in terms of signs I, and my equipment are getting old. Talk about fun, followed by pain, followed by weather, frustration, laughter, an ornery cat, and more pain. That was my weekend. It began at Sons of Kent Friday evening. Sarah Schofield...

I normally write about family and local events in my column, but this week is a bit different. It’s about a man I never met and part of a trio I’d been a fan of for a good 45 years. Rest in peace, Neil Peart. Arguably the best rock drummer on the planet,...
