Chocolate, Valentines and Blue Mountain

I love chocolate.  I mean, I LOVE chocolate.  Doesn’t everyone?  If you are a bit of a connoisseur, you know that not all chocolates are equal.  There’s the grocery store aisle chocolate that’s really just strange candy stuff wrapped in silly packages.  It’s exactly like the little mini bars you find at Halloween.  In my [...]

Fun Week-Ends in Wasaga Beach and Collingwood

I love living here. Even though Beach Area 1 in Wasaga Beach has seen many changes in the last few years since the great fire, some things never change.  While poodle-skirted gals and side-burned guys are rockin’ to Elvis in Collingwood this week-end, the beach crowd is out in full force in Wasaga.  Even kitchy [...]

Last week, I had the opportunity to talk with John Nichols [...]
