My younger daughter's latest and newest book has just been published by Penguin...

I have just purchased a couple of copies of my daughter, Auralee Wallace-Parekh's newest book entitled The Haunted Librarian.

I purchased the two copies at Indigo Books in Newmarket, where they were on sale at 20% off! I'm not sure what Auralee will think of the discounting of her book on its official release. Oh well, as long lots of them sell.

Please comment if you wish.

Town of Aurora elections...

I am voting for John Gallo as mayor for the Town of Aurora, in the upcoming municipal elections.

I am voting for him because like me, he does not believe in the Doug Ford-mandated 'Strong Mayor Powers' for municipal politicians.

In the past 2 years, the current Aurora mayor, has used 'Strong Mayor Powers' 73 times undemocratically against his fellow councillors wishes.

With respect,

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Toronto

My partner Pat Cromie and I, and a gang of residents from Delmanor Retirement Residence, in Aurora, recently visited Medieval Times in downtown Toronto for dinner and a show.

I'd never seen this theatrical extravaganza before and I was mightily impressed.

The falcon pictured above was allowed to fly about the Medieval Times locale (the old Toronto Coliseum building) several times just above our heads (within arms length, it seemed!).

This shows has been around for decades in many locations in the U.S., as well as Toronto.

Highly recommended!
