Back to Eighty-Five
January 7th, 2015 When the year 2015 hit a few days ago, pop culture experts and historians recalled the Back To The Future movie trilogy with esteemed interest. In Back To The Future II, Marty McFly, Jennifer and Doc jump ahead in time from 1985 to the year 2015. Supposedly, the world was supposed to experience the Hoverboard, the Hovercar, Food...
Crisis In Edmonton
December 19th, 2014 During the Christmas break, I will be spending time with family in my childhood home of Edmonton, Alberta: Formerly known as the City of Champions.
