READ MAXWELL’S FULL ESSAY:

Gram·pun·cle [geram-puhn-cuul] n. A gay man who formerly dated your grandmother only to later come to terms with his sexuality but still stay in the family to take care of your mother and aunt growing up.

Alan Palmer was my Grampuncle. When my cousins and I were younger, we couldn’t figure out what to call him. He was our grandpa in terms of age and raising our mothers, but he functioned more as the classic “fun gay uncle”, so we settled on a combination, Grampuncle. While we all had amazing relationships with Alan, mine was special. I have known Alan and his husband, Bill, since birth (making them the first ever gay couple I knew in my life).

Growing up and struggling with my sexuality, I was always able to look up to them to show me that true love really does have no boundaries. I will never forget, in 2015, standing inside the Michigan courthouse beside Alan as he and Bill exchanged vows and got married. They showed me, a young, insecure gay boy, that there was a place for me in the world and that I had a future to look forward to filled with love and joy.

Along with that joy, there eventually came some pain. Alan was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in the early spring of 2020. A week or so after the diagnosis, the world fell into a global pandemic. Those first few months were intense. I heard the horror stories from Alan of how scary it was going into the hospital for rounds of chemotherapy with people who had the Coronavirus sitting in the next wing over. Being constantly in and out of the hospital he was a risk to others, and the lung cancer made almost everyone else a risk to him. With the exception of his husband, he was fully alone.

Alan did not admit to his loneliness and pain. He did not want to feel like a burden, but after talking with Bill and hearing how Alan was truly feeling, my family began to make the hour and a half drive from Chicago to Michigan almost every other week to visit. We brought Alan a pop-up gazebo and some fancy sun hats to protect him (with the radiation he could not be in the sun for more than a few minutes at a time), and we would sit in the backyard just talking and laughing for hours until Alan’s body would give in to the exhaustion and he had to go inside.

As his birthday approached, I racked my brain thinking of something special to do for him. I thought back to a video I saw online toward the beginning of the pandemic and decided to make a “hug shield”. What better gift to give than a loved one’s embrace during the pandemic? Using a clear painter’s tarp, I cut arm holes and taped together closed arm sleeves. It took a good few hours, but I finally figured out a design that allowed for full protection on either side of the hug. On the day of his birthday, we packed up the car and headed to Michigan.

After talking and eating cake, it was time for the surprise. As we pulled the shield out and hung it from the gazebo, Alan did something I had only seen at the courthouse; he cried. I had the honor of the first hug, and as I slipped my arms into the sleeves Alan and I held each other and cried together. He pressed his forehead against mine through the plastic and in between sobs he said to me, “I am so proud of you.” I knew this was our final goodbye. When Alan died the next week, I knew he went in peace. He had felt my embrace through the shield of love.

Be Afraid: A Ghost Town Haunts This Week’s Most Popular Homes

realtor.com

We’re used to unique homes topping our weekly look at the most-clicked properties on realtor.com®. But an entire town? And a particularly spooky town? It’s a new twist!

The Connecticut town of Johnsonville is for sale. It includes all of the buildings on its 62 acres: the old schoolhouse, the church, the general store, everything. And this isn’t the first time this town has scared up interest—the ghost town has haunted the market in the past.

In 2014, it went up for auction, but the winning bidder couldn’t close the deal. In 2015, it bounced back on the market for $2.4 million, but a buyer didn’t materialize. It’s now back up for sale, for $1.9 million.

Aside from apparitions, you also were interested in the bonkers cat-themed house in Arizona, a Pennsylvania mansion featuring an indoor pool without parallel, and an Omaha opportunity that vanished from the market in the blink of an eye.

To paraphrase the great philosophers of Aerosmith, we don’t want you to miss a thing! For the full list of this week’s most popular properties, scroll on down.

10. 502 Spring Hill Dr, New Albany, IN

Price: Up for auction Why it’s here: This storybook home will sell! How do we know? Well, this quaint cottage will hit the auction block later this month. Built in the ’20s, the home exudes oodles of vintage charm. Will it be enough for a buyer to make a winning bid on the four-bedroom home? Stay tuned!

New Albany, IN

realtor.com

———

9. 5829 Hickory Rd, Indianapolis, IN

Price: $379,900 Why it’s here: This 6-acre spread offers a wealth of opportunities for an enterprising buyer. The main building is a fully restored farmhouse. There’s also a log cabin, pond with fishing shack, and barn.

Indianapolis, IN

realtor.com

———

8. 2713 Mary St, Omaha, NE

Price: $195,000 Why it’s here: Listing agent Anna Lemieux with Re/Max Results says this charming home in North Omaha was a smash from the moment it hit the market. After a recent renovation, the home’s hardwood floors shine and its vintage charms are easy to spot. So easy, in fact, the home is already in pending sale status. Lemieux says the home hit the market a little over a week ago and they had a buyer in place on Day 1.

Omaha, NE

realtor.com

———

7. 2607 Swiss St, West Monroe, LA

Price: $159,900 Why it’s here: This three-bedroom, ranch-style home looks like a perfect place for an expanding family. We love the tree swing out front, the huge lot, and the hardwood floors.

West Monroe, LA

realtor.com

———

6. 1567 Tri County Highway, Sterling Township, OH

Price: $5,000,000 Why it’s here: Just outside Cincinnati, this grand mansion sits on a 90-acre farm. The turret out front presents a castle vibe, but the interior of the five-bedroom estate is pure elegance. And if you’re into ponies, the property comes with a huge horse barn.

Sterling Township, OH

realtor.com

———

5. 429 S Bois D Arc Ave, Tyler, TX

Price: $175,000 Why it’s here: This three-bedroom home in East Texas is our bargain pick. At nearly 2,300 square feet, the home comes out to only $76 per square foot!

Tyler, TX

realtor.com

———

4. 669 County Road, Concho, AZ

Price: $240,000 Why it’s here: It’s the cat house! This desert abode with cat decor had the web abuzz. When we spoke with the listing agent, she said the owner was simply a cat lover. And despite the elaborate catwalks, cat beds, and cat bathrooms, the owner kept only two cats. As the listing states, if you don’t appreciate the decor featuring felines everywhere, “bring your sandblaster.”

Concho, AZ

realtor.com

———

3. 40 E Tomlin Station Rd, Mickleton, NJ

Price: $800,000 Why it’s here: Built just last year, this custom five-bedroom home in South Jersey sits on 2 acres of land. Highlights include a tin ceiling in the living room, a media room in the basement, and a huge porch to enjoy on warm summer nights.

Mickleton, NJ

realtor.com

———

2. 479 Imperial Dr, Mohnton, PA

Price: $2,425,000 Why it’s here: There’s a lot to take in in this six-bedroom mansion. We’ll focus on a couple of our favorite elements. First, the indoor pool and spa area is … bananas. The three-story room has tropical murals on the walls, palm trees everywhere, waterfalls, a saltwater pool, and a built-in sound system. We also love the home gym, not so much for the equipment within but for the mantra painted on the wall: “Cheese fries … fat thighs … exercise!!” Preach.

Mohnton, PA

1. Johnsonville, East Haddam, CT

Price: $1,900,000 Why it’s here: It’s a chance to buy an entire town. Though, the town is devoid of people.

This long-forgotten locale went up for auction in 2014, but has yet to attract a buyer. The 62-acre spread comes with a number of buildings, including a former bank, general store, school, church, and restaurant.

For a buyer who wants to be boss, this opportunity to buy and restore an entire village is a chance too big to bypass.

It was a Monday night in Ottawa and all through the city not a creature was stirring…except for a sold out crowd at the Algonquin Commons Theatre who packed the house for our favourite Canadian Kid, Brett Kissel and his Ice, Snow and 30 Below tour.

Brett Kissel at Algonquin Commons – photo credit to Scott Martin Visuals

There’s no question that country music fans in Ottawa love Brett Kissel. I think it’s safe to say that Brett Kissel loves Ottawa too as he’s performed in Ottawa more often than most other Canadian country artists, 3 times in as many months including ringing in the New Year on the steps of Parliament Hill.

I’ve had the pleasure of covering a lot of shows at the beautiful Algonquin Commons Theatre over the last several years but I can’t recall a single show that got as loud as the crowd did last night for Brett. That sold out crowd was hungry for country music and that’s exactly what they got.

Country music tours have been following a bit of a “lather, rinse, repeat” theme over the last several years. Where the same headliners tour with a similar rotation of opening acts, Canadian country music has been no exception to this. When Brett first announced this tour many of us were expecting one of his Invictus Mates or Warner label mates to join him on his tour much like in the past. But Brett had other plans and we, for one, couldn’t be happier. Emerging artists are the lifeblood for any musical genre and for an artist of Brett’s calibre to open up his national tour to some of Ontario’s rising stars was extremely generous.

The night started out with a performance by a young lady we’ve been talking about for a number of years now, Abby Stewart. Hailing from Kingston, Ontario Abby is loaded with so much talent it’s a treat to watch her hone her skills show after show. Every time I see her perform she moves the bar just a little bit higher.

Last night Ottawa was in for a special treat as Abby was joined by her good friend, Beamer Wigley, for a few songs. Beamer flew in from Calgary especially for the show after having spent Sunday at the Alberta Country Music Awards, where his single “Meteorite” was nominated for Song of the Year. Beamer treated the crowd to a performance of his latest single “Boombox” before the duo, who has been busy of the last few months writing together in Nashville, performed a few songs together. The closed out their set with a chillingly tight performance of Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson’s hit “Don’t You Wanna Stay”. Take my word for it and keep your eye on these two because in the coming years you’ll be hearing their name’s a lot more often…count on it.

Brett Kissel

Brett Kissel hit the stage next and didn’t miss a beat kicking the show off with the first single off of ‘Pick Me Up’ “Airwaves”. The fuse was lit and the crowd was on fire. Every Brett Kissel show is a special event for the audience, something has to be said about the special bond he has with his fans. It goes without saying that most artists love their fans but Brett shares a deeper connection with his and I believe that’s part of what makes his performances so magical.

Tough People Do and I Didn’t Fall in Love with Your Hair

Like most country music shows there was also a lot of deep emotion packed into last night’s performance. Brett lost his grandparents in 2011 to a two-vehicle crash in Alberta as they were enroute to watch him perform. Everything about this event speaks to the character of Brett Kissel, who kept a scheduled performance 2 nights after the accident but ended up having to cancel halfway through telling the crowd that his heart was willing, but his body just couldn’t do it. The event led Brett to write and dedicate the song “Tough People Do” for his grandparents. It was the first of two very emotional moments throughout the night that strengthen the bond between Brett and his fans, no doubt that Brett leans on his fans for strength in tough times and his fans draw strength from Brett to deal with their own tough times.

The second of the two emotional moments came with Brett’s performance of his single “I Didn’t Fall in Love with Your Hair”. The song rings true for anyone with a loved one battling cancer and it’s clear that it has become an anthem for the philanthropic side of Brett who spoke highly of his support for the Canadian Cancer Society during our interview earlier in the day. The song is from the perspective of the partner of someone battling this horrible disease which, as Brett says, has touched far too many of us. The eyes welled up with tears and the room lit up with cell phone lights as Ottawa joined in chorus to sing this incredible song.

Brett wasn’t going to let the night end on a sombre note as he quickly picked up the pace and brought the party back by paying tribute to some legends. First he started with one of his idols Johnny Cash for which he went into the crowd and stood on a railing and sang “Ring of Fire” before returning to the stage for John Denver’s “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” and then capping it off with Garth Brooks’ “Baton Rouge” (“Baton Rouge”, incidentally is one of three songs Brett picked when answering a fan question asking which three songs Brett would chose if he could only sing 3 songs for the rest of his life.)

What would a Brett Kissel show in Ottawa be without a visit from his friend and fellow member of Invictus Entertainment Jordan McIntosh? Jordan was in the building and joined Brett to perform “Raise Your Glass”. As the night wound down Brett ended the show, or did he, the way it all began…with “Started with A Song”. But the crowd had other plans and they let him know to the extent that, I’m certain, a poor student in a residence nearby was having issues studying because of all the racket coming from the Theatre.

Brett and his band returned to the stage and delivered exactly what the crowd wanted….3, 2, 1! It was the perfect note to end the night on because I can assure you that I, as well as everyone in that sold out theatre, will be counting down the hours until we get to see Brett Kissel again! Something tells me he’ll be back in Ottawa again very soon, would love to see Brett on a stage at RBC Bluesfest this summer which has already seen performances by Tim Hicks and Dallas Smith.

Brett hits Sherbrooke, Quebec tonight for his only stop in La belle province. Local boy, Jon MacAulay, will be joining Brett tonight. Jon is a guitarist/singer from the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada. His repertoire combines elements of folk, blues, and jazz. Visit his website to learn more: www.jonmacaulaymusic.com

Ottawa gets loud as Brett Kissel brings Ice Snow and 30 Below to Algonquin It was a Monday night in Ottawa and all through the city not a creature was stirring...except for a sold out crowd at the Algonquin Commons Theatre who packed the house for our favourite Canadian Kid, Brett Kissel and his Ice, Snow and 30 Below tour.
