True story. It’s New Year’s Eve. My crew and me were not only ringing in the New Year, we were also celebrating my cousin T’s birthday. His girlfriend and my girlfriend were like batty an’ bench (that’s like fric and frac  for the non-Jamaican massive). We gathered at my boy Charles’ place for [...]

Hello Granny Panties, Goodbye Morning Wood

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

SAM SHARPE
I was young. So was she. But my relationship with Joanne was the first ‘grown up’ connection I’d ever had with a woman. By grown up, I refer not only to our respective ages, but also to our respective life circumstance. I had recently graduated and was living on my own in Toronto for [...]

ELIZABETH ROSE
“Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.” – Thomas Fuller
