Reading makes immigrants of us all.
It takes us away from home,
but more important,
it finds homes for us everywhere.

Today is a remembrance of one of the lesser celebrated apostles, Bartholomew (Bart).

Today is also National Waffle Day, so be certain to enjoy a waffle or two.

For some people every day is Weather Complaint Day. Here we are approaching the end of August and still a major heat warning is in effect for most of Ontario. Today the high will be 32C and feeling like 44C. So keep cool, and drink plenty of fluids. It looks like we could have thunderstorms this afternoon and throughout the night, but no relief for the heat and humidity is in the forecast.

If no one ever died of laughter, why don’t we let our inner child out more? Play with abandon, Smile more often, And let those belly laughs out.
