I watched from the ramparts of Castel Dracula. Mist gathered and thickened in the mountains of the Borgo Pass. Down the drive, red banners flapped in the cold breeze. Appropriately, they read, "Draculaland." . . .
Chewy's Amazing Adventure
He was
just a pup, but Chewy the Shipoo took to travelling to New Brunswick like
a pro. Which was good because he almost didn't come on holiday
at all.
We Stayed at the Watergate
A political junkie, nothing suited me more than staying at the
Watergate hotel site of the original "gate" scandal.
Ever wonder why any American policitical scandal seems to be called "somethinggate"? e.g. NAFTAgate, Camiliagate, Irangate. In the early 1970s, burglars linked with the President Nixon reelection campaign were arrested while breaking into the offices of the Democratic Election Committee located in the Watergate complex of condos, offices and a hotel. The scandal led to the resignation of President Nixon before he could be impeached. The investigation created such colourful characters as "Deep Throat" and a major motion picture, "All the President's Men". . .
