One of the boys "shot" his dad and yelled, "Bang! You’re dead!"
The dad fell dramatically to the ground. But then, he just lay

On the wall beside my desk I have a 1996 poster size Tim Horton’s Coffee calendar, which I took and had dry mounted, so it would last forever. The picture above the months shows a father wearing a goalie stick and gloves guarding a hockey net that stands in front of the garage door of the family
