The post below, which is just silliness, was even more silly for quite a number of days because of an error in the headline. For quite a while it read, “American, we are working!”
American? As if the country had a population of one.
A single letter, the blasted “n,” turned me into a moron.

America, we are working!

It’s Thanksgiving in the U.S. today and they are watching football and eating turkey. But the rest of us are working. I pointed this out two years ago with this post:
Thanksgiving in the U.S. - the Internet is ours!
Last year, no post. I had just moved across the country and I think the U.S. Thanksgiving […]

I’m somewhat amazed, and a bit discouraged, by the fiasco surrounding the cancelled Celine Dion outdoor concert that had been announced for Halifax.

It’s Sunday Stories and basically I was using it just for posting some quick fiction things, most of which were for Flash Fiction, a little something JJ had going every Friday. […]

Time travel - 1977

My friend Marnie sent me this, and it was simply too good not to post a link to it:
Strap in, shut up and hold on. We’re going back.
“Last weekend I put an exhaust fan in the ceiling … While my brother-in-law and I were fitting the fan in between the joists, we found something under […]

A debilitated, yet still feisty, Noel (no longer with his hurricane status) trundled through Atlantic Canada on Saturday night, huffing and puffing and whizzing freely wherever he took a notion.
