WHO?

Tim Lowman has been a Toronto lawyer for over 40 years - largely because he is unsuited to useful work.

He is the spouse of one, the father of two and the best friend of Gilly.

He is also a long-time Scout leader and Adjunct Faculty at a Toronto University - transparent efforts to relive his misspent youth.

He has also been known to occasionally wear a kilt - although no one is certain why.

WHY?

Confined inside the box of his home during the pandemic lockdown with his wife and youngest child, he knew two things: 1. he needed to vent; and 2. chronic complaining and advice-giving to family in close quarters could only lead to a pillow over the head, being bundled into the trunk of a car and a shallow, unmarked grave. And so, he decided to inflict his views on a larger audience, hoping to give comfort both to the elderly that there is still some sanity left in the world, and to thoughtful Millennials, Generation Xs and Zs who would like to learn from the mistakes of their forebears and the occasional things they got right.

WHEN?

Every weekend or so, since March 17, 2020.
