Funny Side Up: I am a klutz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So, you know how when you have a toddler who is just beginning to crawl/walk you go around the house babyproofing it so he/she/little-monster doesn’t knock stuff over? Well, my daughter does the same thing just before I am about to visit her. She calls me Baby Hulk because I knock over anything within 10 feet of me (even if I am not moving. It’s creepy.) When I sit down at the dinner table with my family they all slide their chairs closer to each other and further from me. My food and table sett
Funny Side Up: What’s wrong with this picture? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every so often, blue moon and all, I need to write a serious commentary as anger overwhelms me. The fly in the ointment is when I march to the banner of Funny Side Up. But rest assured I will season this with my usual caustic cynicism. So, kinda’ hard to take politicians seriously in all sizes, camps and disguises, when I bookend these two headlines: “One third of all Canadian children go to school hungry,” and “Carney drops $160,000 on airplane food during one trip.” Prime Sinister Art Carney a

But before I launch this week’s missive, I must protest: Why do all athletes in team s
Belleville’s Own: Back to basic good food, good fun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So, the latest jewel in the Market Place crown is the huge sports bar One Eyed Jack Restaurant + Bar Belleville, opened June 2026. Really, the only word that describes it is emporium - fit for an emperor. Born in Sri Lanka, General Manager Niru Thava has been in Canada since age 5 and has lived in Corbyville for the past 8 years. He gets it right: “One Eyed Jack is the power of a good meal. Our goal is to provide our customers with an experience that's memorable.” Niru has been with the organiza
Funny Side Up: 10 things to do with an abandoned water tower (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The sharpest tool a writer of humour (Something I know nothing about.) must have is the ability to look at anything and weave outwards. Recently, while strolling past the Belleville water tower, I had a strange thought. Actually, I have all too many strange thoughts. Upon close examination (ie. squinting) I estimated that it holds 750,000 gallons (the equivalent of 14,000 Centigrade) of water. (Okay, I looked it up.) My next thought was: What do you do with it when it is abandoned. Drop it off i
