I Can See Clearly Now!
This week, I had something I’d known was coming, but I tried to dismiss it from my mind. I needed cataract surgery.

He is a painter, a cartoonist, and a writer. John weaves stories of his family life, past working life, and current life. He […]
Poison Prevention for Seniors
Safety is always in style Once we leave childhood, we think poison prevention is no longer needed. But if that’s what you think, you would be wrong. I worked in the BC Drug and Poison Information Centre for over 25 years as a Certified Specialist in Poison Information. Many calls come from the hospital emergency […]
