Looking for a Mother’s Day book for Mom? Here I discuss why I dedicated my new novel to my mom (and the strong women I grew up around who kept their families together in a tough steel town neighbourhood) on Vital Signs #hamont #BookTwitter #MothersDay #gritlit Hamilton PL

What a wonderful story Karen Tumulty.

Taping farewell episode of Vital Signs. At my old high school gym where I played & coached basketball. Celebrating 2 great teachers in my life. Ron Fulton, my urban geography teacher who inspired my love of cities. And Wayne Hager who challenged me to be a leader on Bball court.

Memory lane. Joe Raso & I started our basketball coaching careers together here at Westdale Secondary in the early 80’s winning our first city championship. And learning so much about leadership and teamwork. CEBL Hamilton Community Foundation #HamOnt

Both the Greenbelt and the Growth Plan were built on a grand bargain: Environmentally sensitive land would be set aside, but cities would densify to make sure every family could afford a home.

Ontario did the first, but reneged on the second.

Jamal Murray is one of the most unique players in NBA history.

Zero All Star appearances, zero All NBA teams, no regular season accolades at all.

Yet, only MJ, Wilt & AI have more 50 point playoff games, he’s got 1 iconic playoff run under his belt, 2 other awesome ones & now…

The best backcourt in the world 🇨🇦 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander & Jamal Murray knows how to make big shots on back to back nights.

Hockey has a problem….

Beautiful celebration of life for Dr. Mike Newhouse. Mike was a brilliant clinician & medical researcher, but always unassuming, kind & generous with everyone he met. I was so lucky to know Mike as a friend of the family. Pictured here with my pals the Paikin boys, Larry & Steve.

This old Spec column of mine remains timely. A tribute to the late Flamborough Councillor Margaret McCarthy. And a lament that too many politicians fail to leave the party before their shelf life has expired! #HamOnt Hamilton Spectator

And a proud McMaster University grad!
