As Mark Twain might say, quitting beer is easy! I’ve done it several times. Beer has been good to me. It’s also been bad for me. I’m probably carrying an addition twenty pounds of girth around my midsection that is directly attributable to fermented...

Oh, Canada? Oh my… Where to begin? The transition from Quebec to Ontario is subtle, but the difference is dramatic. There’s no border check (not yet anyway) but when you see that first “Welcome to Ontario” sign you’re already back on more...
