Obsessed With This Pokémon Card. Top Story - September 2026.

I started collecting Pokémon cards for the first time in an effort to bond with my son after three years of battling his mother to have visitation with him.

I recently read an article discussing the ten most famous paintings in the world. It reminded me of a visit to an art gallery about twenty years ago. Don’t get the wrong idea here. I am not an arty person. I have a few original paintings in my house that I bought for the colours and the overall “likeness factor."

One Work: Girl before a Mirror. Top Story - July 2026.

Like a 1960s version of Tom Sawyer, my big brother got me to purple-wash the beige walls of our parents’ former conjugal quarters. Our dad had moved out of the house and our mom had turned the den into her new bedroom.
