Kogos: Red, white and Manitoulin Island
I was thrilled to be in downtown Little Current on Canada Day. Everyone was busy and enjoying the very hot day, people stopping to visit the 30 vendors on the street, the crafters, artisans, bakers and growers. Listening to live music from the Kamikaze Crows, and eating a piece of that delicious, huge Canada Day cake in the Town Square, where a nic → Read More

Kogos: The ties that bind us all
It's dreary midwinter March, grey, cold, mushy and wet in New York City; and I dream of clean Manitoulin snow, and walking quietly on a clear morning under ice-laced trees. → Read More
Kogos: Remembering a friend and an inspiration
The winter day was sunny. I took the train to Larchmont to have the day and evening with Lois Steinberg, my dear friend. At 91, beautiful, lithe, bright, smart, articulate and wise. And those were her bad traits. → Read More
Kogos: Exploring our 'linguistic hybridity'
Key West, Fla. -- I eagerly attend the 36th Annual Key West Literary Seminar focusing on Writers of the Caribbean. This year, director Arlo Haskell and his directors were first to take a geographic focus at a time when the hurricanes of 2017 have underscored how much Key West shares with its Caribbean neighbours. → Read More
Kogos: Living Manitoulin strong
Happy New Year, My Beloved Readers.

Kogos: A Manitoulin winter solstice
My friends, Linda and Chuc Willson, have lived on Manitoulin for almost 30 years. Prior to living on Manitoulin, Chuc was an editor of several Canadian magazines. He and Linda are authors who own and manage a market garden business and each summer sell fresh produce at the Gore Bay Farmers' Market. I have bought so much from them, my favourite is S → Read More
Kogos: Man's love for his boots
Visiting Manitoulin for many years, I've been delighted and honoured to cherish my friends. That I used to live on Manitoulin the first year, so long ago, is simply history. When I speak of spending time on the island to friends in New York City, they always ask if I have a home there. → Read More

While October is Breast Cancer Month, 22 years ago, I had a mammogram, actually during October in NYC. I had just broken up with my man from Manitoulin, and had returned to living in NYC. → Read More

Kogos: So the world turns ...
While my writing in the Window Seat is directed toward the miracles, happenings, achievement, art, music and fun in Northern Ontario, I've been worrying, along with other Americans, well, about our part of the world and the devastating hurricanes in Houston and Florida. Family, friends, and are they surviving and thriving from the hurricanes. → Read More

When handsome, young Russell Redenbaugh was 16, he was considered a bright nerd, always ahead in his class.

Kogos: Time on Manitoulin short, precious
I was told, long ago, by a busy, pompous, yet well- respected Toronto lawyer, don't bother going to Manitoulin. I'd be so bored. Nothing ever to do, sheep and cows, and never mind the black flies. → Read More
Kogos: An exhausting, but fun, whirlwind
Thinking about all of this, again and again: how lucky to be on Manitoulin this celebratory week in August. Getting my rented car, driving to Manitoulin, staying with friends at AOK, and driving to the Wikwemikong Annual Cultural Fest, celebrating my 15th year in attendance. An easy parking spot, and upon entry, I am given an elegant Pow Wow Guide, → Read More
Kogos: Where will you be during the eclipse?
I just flew in to Sudbury on a bright August morning flight this week and was astounded, yes, delighted to look below from my Window Seat on Porter Air and actually recognize streets, buildings and neighbourhoods of Sudbury just before we landed. So appealing in the morning summer sun, beautiful lakes, winding roads and areas I’ve come to know. Alo → Read More
