      I just met a man who doesn't have a single complaint. Sik Kan Chung is 91. It took him 15 minutes to walk across the park to Woodgreen Community Centre from his place to meet me. Ten years ago it took him only 10 minutes. Another 10 years, maybe it will take half an hour, he said, laughing so hard his glasses slid down his nose. [Incomplete]

      Home is a castle, or soon will be for Stuart family of Donlea Dr. in East York. Charles Stuart has taken out a 20-year lease on a castle near Inverness, Scotland, built in 1625 by the third Earl of Moray. The rent - $95.50 a year, but Stuart says it will need about $38,000 worth of work to make it habitable. It has a ghost, but a friendly one, Stuart said. He and his wife, Elizabeth, show off a photo of their new home with daugher Lucie, who is 13.
