Fifty bucks on "higher." What will that get me?

This does raise the question; how much more Blatchford can DiManno be? And would an exorcist help? I honestly don't think it'll hurt at this point.

"I had transgressed my office through shenanigans."
"Yes, you did."
"I was noble enough to leave office."
"'Noble' is a broad term, but okay. You knew where the door is."
"I am...uh...noble enough to run again."
"I question 'noble' again. And look! There's the door! Let's give it a try!"

Awful soap opera trappings, one or two genuine dread-laden sequences all about greed.

Yeah. All that 'boots on the ground' talk is just referring to what happens to boots when they are placed on the ground. Otherwise, they'd just be collectors items.

I like the possibility, but every time somebody gleefully says it's practically a done deal I also hear "The taxidermy man is gonna have a heart attack!" and brace for the worst.

I knew Hollander lived in TO for awhile, she made a flick directed by Al Waxman. But why did Guccione show up...?

Prime Minister John Diefenbaker was friendly with my grandmother. Not _that_ kind of friendly, but chatted with her when visiting his home town in Ontario.

People. The plural is unfortunately required in this situation.

1. Why write anything, if not compelled to do so?

2. If compelled, own every word of what you write.

3. If not compelled, wait a month. Allow for the funeral and the paperwork to be completed, and for the grieving to be part of life. Then look at 1. and 2. above.

That surprises me - there are a lot of blu rays available through the Hamilton libraries. Is it an issue of scale?
