Jim Kenzie decides that the time has come to hang up his metaphorical mesh-back driving gloves. By: Jim Kenzie January 25, 2021 Comments

The two things I wanted to do after finishing engineering school at U of T were race cars, and play in a rock ‘n’ roll band. The two things I swore I’d never do were to teach, or have anything to do with computers. Within six years of graduation, I was racing cars, playing in a rock ‘n’ roll band, and teaching computer programming at Ryerson.
So much for career planning.
A few years later, I dropped into the Sheldons, our neighbours here in rural Milton, to borrow a tool from the “other Jim”. His wife Pam said, “You know a lot about cars. Can you write?” Turns out a young man had hired Pam as editor of a new newspaper in Milton to compete with “The Canadian Champion”, the longest-running community paper in the country.
