Today’s 50 years ago the movie JAWS hit the theatre and ruined me for swimming in Lake Ontario for the summer. I was 12, my parents took me. But , it did peak my interest in SCUBA diving so that was good.

The best thing I’ve used in my life for my mental health has always been to go for a walk. The second best is to have a dog to remind me I have to get up. Wherever you are today I hope you know life isn’t always hopeless. You’ll find peace in yourself when it gets to talk to you.

These are the LGBTQ+ Hotlines if you live within the United States. There is a rumour online about Canada adding a number for Americans to call. It’s false. Stay safe. Reach out. www.glencanning.com/2025/05/13/a...

The Lego Mona Lisa our niece gave us for Christmas is now complete. Thanks to some cannabis and tea and a few relaxing hours of mental health time.

On this Easter Sunday. Let’s remind ourselves that America changed Christianity to align with their beliefs, instead of changing themselves to align with Christianity.

The rumble in the jungle was one of boxing's greatest moments. I've been an Ali fan since the sixties, so I'm a big George Foreman fan too. A legend, a chef, and a gentleman. Rest in peace George!
