Father, husband, writer, cyclist. I have cycled over 85,000 km around Essex County, Ontario since May 2020. I have written about these adventures in my book The Kilominator: www.kilominator.com.
I had a trove 693 photograph slides digitized.

This pic is of my grandfather Edward John Hickey the day he returned to Ireland in 1965 for the first time since emigrating to Canada in 1928. Here he is on the front porch of 912 Lincoln Road, Windsor, Ontario.

The Christmas gift you'll remember for life.
Put the bee in Dad's bonnet.
Once upon a time, a bicycle was considered the ultimate Christmas gift.
This is a 1948 advert - from the days when Schwinn had "Long as you own it" guarantees.
The company still has a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Happy Holidays

I love classic 70s television. A few years ago I fixated on Chico & the Man. Freddie Prinze, Sr., was always a sad mystery to me -- all the more so watching that great show. What amazed me was seeing how much death imagery was in the show, a comedy

Death Imagery in Chico & the Man
Chico and the Man was an American situation comedy that ran on NBC from 1974 until it was cancelled in 1978. The show featured veteran actor, Jack Albertson, as “Ed — The Man,” and 19 year old stan…

My community opened this skating rink in one of our parks this winter and it's been a real hit -- my new favourite place, and I don't even skate.

Too cold to cycle outside. I tried and had to turn back. My hands were the weak point

Flashback to a bumpy ride in the early morning of July 24. Took this morning off because I was up late last night (9 p.m.) and was just too tired to get anything going today.

I'm just after watching the #KurtVonnegut documentary, #UnstuckInTime, and have begun re-reading his last novel, #Timequake, which I've owned since 1997. Felt compelled to remember the memorable day I received the novel.

Timequake
Autumn 1997, I was living in Dublin, Ireland, just moved there after finishing school, no real plan, few connections, fewer prospects, but guided by a desperate desire to make it work. And it did. …

Orson Welles is one of my favourite filmmakers, raconteurs, and all-around creative personalities of all time. I love his films, particularly his film version of Kafka's The Trial. I can't get enough of this small section about the making of that film from this documentary:
