Published In The Great North Arrow, August 1, 2025: The Final Review
The Final Review - jim Young “At the end of the day, all that matters is love and memories. So make sure that you give it and make sure you make them.” - anon Many people have reported seeing their lives flash before their eyes just before death. But of course those people that tell us that, didn’t really die. They only suffered a near death experience. So we don’t know for certain if that also happens with people that have actually died. However, not everyone that experiences a near death experience has reported this phenomenon. But maybe they just hadn't gotten all the way there yet. Maybe if they had gotten a moment or two closer to their actual death, their film migt've started to roll. At what point does your inner stage manager cue the lighting operator to lower your house lights and call for the projector to roll? I wonder if any of these people also saw a quick countdown from 8 to 2 accompanied with a little beep that counted off the seconds to go as each number appeare...
The Harvey Wallbanger
The Harvey Wallbanger - jim Young This recipe is from “Chapter 5: Common Cocktails” of my new book “Belly up to the Bar, Cocktails for Two” . In addition to cocktail recipes, as you will read below I try to provide a bit of the background of the origins of the cocktails along with some personal anecdotes and family stories. If you’re interested in purchasing a copy of “Belly up to the Bar” , it’s available on Amazon or you can contact me at dogonaroot@gmail.com The Harvey Wallbanger was a popular cocktail I discovered in bars in the 1970s when I first came of drinking age.

Hey Jim -- I just wanted to say that I enjoy your columns in Great North Arrow and I applaud you for supporting this ground-breaking publication. I, too, submit a column in Great North Arrow, and am proud that I too, support Cyndi and James. I live in Newmarket, but spent my summers at a cottage in Sundridge, so I know the area well and I plan on visiting the new Burk's Falls Welcome Centre this summer, maybe do a book reading from one of my three books! Any ways, Jim, keep on writing -- always an unique viewpoint from you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comments. Be sure to let me know when you schedule your book reading and we will try to attend. When the pandemic is over, I was thinking we should try to get Jim & Cyndi to organize some kind of a gathering or barbecue for all those that contribute to the Great North Arrow to get to know each other. Do you have a website you would like to promote? If so I would be happy to link it with some of the other sites I have listed under "Check These Sites Out Too!"
