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.
Fortunately, in my part of the east it was not so bad. From what I gather, New Brunswick got the rain but Nova Scotia got the [...]

Gonzo would be having kittens, as the expression goes, but someone new will be moving in with me. Her name is Molly Bloom.
I adopted her from the Fredericton SPCA and she was supposed to come home with me today. However, Nature had other ideas and biology will have its way. She was to be spayed [...]

What the hell have I been up to lately? Where’ve I been? Why ain’t I blogging so much?
What’s the deal here, hmm?
Well, I’ve been out and about. And working. And out and about some more. When the weather is fine, blogging takes a back seat. The logic of sunshine defeats all arguments. Anyway …
Here’s what [...]

The last few days have been delightfully sunny and warm and I’ve noticed with all this sun I have taken on the appearance of someone who is in the process of altering his ethnic affiliation, so perhaps I’ve been overdoing it a bit.
But it has been so nice …
And let’s see, in the last little [...]

What a fabulous day, as this guy on the right seems to suggest. No, I’ve no idea who he is but his attitude seems the right one on such day.
Today, the food was good, the beer was cold, the sky was clear and brilliant with sunlight.
Could you ask for more? It was a beautiful [...]

The newest member of the New Brunswick legislature arrived last week. You have to wait about 10 seconds but it’s worth it:

It would have been nice if someone has edited down the four video clips available into one, but I guess that’s too much to hope for.
Anyway … It’s a small glimpse at the Canadian [...]

Here’s an example of the absence of ideas. Think of it as a rough cut. But I wanted to get it done and move on. It’s not awful, it’s just not terribly interesting. But here it is:

They’re nuts for fiddleheads out here. Here meaning New Brunswick. Actually, they’re nuts for fiddleheads in New York too given that Michael-Ann is visiting and seems to have only two things on the brain: fiddleheads and dulse.
So last night we had fiddleheads, along with various other foods. And it was entertaining watching the sisters (Liz [...]

Am I becoming rather too preoccupied with the birds around this place? Perhaps. But there are a lot of birds here, after all.
And I’m finding them fascinating. This is probably due to the fact that where I was back in Edmonton there was not a great deal of bird activity beyond the magpies.
Here, it’s like [...]

I want to see what happens when I try embedding YouTube video in the newly revamped blog, so here’s a brief video of “The House.” Not the best video, but I’m learning.
