Driving in old age to NOT be alone
And so, I went to see my old neighbour yesterday. With the cooked chook and veggies and his groceries. To find that his car was gone and the door, incredibly, locked! He had forgotten our Lunch "date" and had gone to buy himself a lunch and some groceries! I had a good long talk with another...

Entrapment
How I ever agreed to this is a real mystery to me! I had just put three little chocolate banana breads (gluten free, mind you!) in the oven to bake when my oldest neighbour arrived. He is my oldest neighbour because he is 80 something. He comes visit regularly but always with his car because he can...

It's here! At long last!
They just left! My Giant's here! After all these long months of separation, we are finally back together! And it's a beautiful day outside. I might just leave all the stuff un-pack and go in the sun on my Giant of a bike! And contrary to the woman I talked to at the phone, these delivery guys were...

My Giant and Wake Net: high speed technology
The moving company has called: they are supposed to deliver our stuff tomorrow between 8am and noon! I sure hope so! I might even be able to do a bit of riding on the Giant before the frost! And it seems that my Mann would not really have had to go to the company afterwards: all he had to do was...

Small Baby-Boom?
We've got great news: one of my sister is pregnant again! It seems that there is a small baby-boom happening in Québec province: of all the "extra" (more than the previous year) baby born in 2007, half where in Québec! And I think that it can be proven by just walking around; there are babies...

A Big Surprise!
I've got quite a surprise yesterday! It was about 1:30pm when I got a collect call from my Mann; he was in Iqualuit and about to take a plane for Ottawa! I was so surprise that I couldn't find anything to say! The plane was supposed to get here at 5pm, but of course it was delayed until 6pm. Never...

Tante'Cille records
Still waiting to hear from my Mann. Could be any day now. He told me to keep looking at my e-mail as it is more reliable than the phone at the moment. In the mean time; I went to pick up my CDs from the recording studio and I think that he did a remarkable job at transferring these very old 78rpm...

Ups and Downs of Auslander
I've got 2 new e-mails from my Mann: he might be back on the first of October or on the 3rd. Some people tried to leave yesterday and the weather was too bad, the chopper couldn't fly. He has been name "Chief scientist" because the Chief has to leave with the first group while he, may Mann, is still...

Lucille and the "Années Folles"
I went to the recording studio to meet the guy who will transfer my old vinyls onto CDs and to bring them, the old 78, to him too, of course. It was my first time ever in a recording studio and I was impressed by all the buttons and controls on the "consol"(?) The guy looks competent enough; he had...
