"Cue the band!"

Enough with east coast babbling. Here’s my soundtrack, meme courtesy of Lushy via Brooke. (Yes, I’m slow getting around to this but I’ve been caught up in other things. Better late than …) According to Lushy:
Here’s how it works…Put your iPod or whatever music player you have on shuffle. The first song that you hear […]

Rejuvenation

So why did I make a trip out east? Was it simply to enjoy the clapboard buildings and mussels of Atlantic Canada? To watch my hair wave and curl and frizz in the sea level air?
Well, yes and no. There was a greater purpose.
Interestingly, a friend sent me an email the […]

Boats and birds and loads of beer

That pretty much sums up yesterday. We jumped in the car and drove from Halifax to Mahone Bay the long way, through Peggy’s Cove and Indian Harbour. And as usual, I took loads of photos (only some of which I put online).
I have still one more series to put up sometime, though […]

It appears I’m in Halifax

Yes, we are now in Nova Scotia and last night involved a considerable degree of altered sensibility (yes, tipsy), a misty, wet night and lobster.
Today, much clearer skies and some frustration over internet connections.
I have been taking more pictures than is reasonable but so it goes. Unfortunately, no time to organize or […]

Yes, I’ve collected a hodge podge of images from various parts of Atlantic Canada, tossed them all together and put them online along with an equal amount of shots of what I guess you would call a Maritime get together.
It was a birthday party. Having drunk beer without stop through the day, […]

Out in Atlantic Canada

I took the red-eye so I flew overnight, leaving Edmonton at five to one in the morning yesterday (00:55). This means I was essentially up for something like 37 hours straight, which made me a babbling idiot through most of yesterday.
And most of yesterday was spent in Fredericton (New Brunswick). Today, I’m in Moncton. And […]

Turning things upside down

This is where I currently live. In the next little while (no time frame) I will no longer live here. Yes, one of the units in here is (soon, was) mine.
I posted the following on my Writelife site. (That’s why it reads as it does.) I’ve now posted it here as well. Because I can! […]

Posting from a bar

(Today’s post has not been reviewed, editor approved or otherwise finessed to eliminate humiliating typos, grammatical errors or unconsidered opinions.)
Today’s post comes from the bar at Murietta’s on Whyte Avenue. It’s about 4:30 in the afternoon – though it’s unlikely I’ll post this till much later since I can’t seem to locate a wireless connection. […]

Ready to deconstruct

I am making adjustments to my living accomodations. Ok, I’m not - other people are. Some of them are friends who are lending a hand; some of them are people you pay for that sort of thing (like the cleaners who will arrive at 1:00 tomorrow, were supposed to have been here […]

I want a cat’s day

I really would have preferred spending today in the way that Gonzo spent hers.
Strangely, few companies are willing to pay you for this kind of activity. I guess I just haven’t developed a viable business model yet.
(I love writing like that - “a viable business model.” It almost makes you want to […]
