Canada Day In Merrickville, Ontario

The weather is actually nicer than forecast so I thought I’d wander down town and see what was going on for Canada Day.

Merrickville Rocks!  What better way to spend the day than by the Rideau Canal watching boats, people and listening to great music!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Of course I couldn’t resist checking on some monkees while [...]

Captain Courageous and the Horrible Hail

I imagine you’ve probably had times when you’ve thought to yourself  ‘it seemed like a good idea at the time…’  I just had one of those. In my ongoing pursuit for World Domination by Glass Monkees I’ve launched a new site – – seemed like a good idea at the time! Thank [...]

A couple of Cold Monkees

Yes, everything you were told is lie! Monkees don’t all hail from tropical regions at all! They are alive and well in the Great White North! Descendants of a tribe that trudged across an ice bridge from Madagascar in the Pleistocene Age over a million years ago (you didn’t know about THAT either [...]
