If you’re a ‘New Ager’, don’t bother with Christmas Shopping…
Since this is November 21, I thought I might as well remind you that you have just four more weeks to live it up! ‘The world will come to an end on December 21, 2012. That is how New Agers, anticipating a rebirth of consciousness, interpret the Mayan calendar. In reality, December 21 is the date on... Sign in to see full entry.

Back in Town…Part IV
Let me begin this part of what I think is a rather boring series with a couple of responses to comments. I can’t think of anything else to write about at the moment, other than stuff on ‘Views’ which apparently nobody wants to hear about anyway, LOL. First, I must thank Jimmy, who quite properly...

Back in Town…Part III
As I told you in the previous post, this time I did not drive my favourite route, the one I described there – I took the fast one. As is the case so often, things are relative, and when I say ‘fast’ it doesn’t really mean fast, but merely faster than the other one. Driving at what is the legal speed... Sign in to see full entry.

Back in Town…Part II
There are many routes to choose when driving to the Maritimes, and my favourite one takes me through the some of the northern States, if I have the time. I like crossing the St. Lawrence and the border at Ogdensburg, NY – traffic is relatively light, waiting periods are short, and the customs... Sign in to see full entry.

Back in Town…Part I
I had a good trip, visiting dear friends in Halifax and environs. Half the fun is the drive there and back – all 3612 km (2244 miles) of it, according to my GPS. I enjoy driving long distances. The open road has almost as much allure for me as the open sea – and since these days I am not in a... Sign in to see full entry.

Going on a trip...
I'll be gone for about a week, and I shall try to drop in occasionally, though I don't know if I'll be able to...Have fun, everybody, and behave while I'm gone, or at least don't do anything I wouldn't do... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was Ben…XXVI
At the risk of boring my readers to death, I shall go on a bit more about my doggie. You know how it is: There’re only so many pictures of other peoples’ babies we can tolerate, only so many accounts of little Adam’s fascinating first utterance of ‘maaaa’, or little Eve’s breathtakingly eloquent...

Ramen Noodles…
TAPS has an interesting post on instant Ramen noodles, found here: http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TAPS./725206; she’s writing about these thin strips of cardboard that come wrapped in plastic and are sometimes used for food, simply because they’re not heavy enough to serve as door stoppers....

A walk with Ben…
Late this morning I was slowly driving along one of our leafy side streets. It was already warm, the windows were open, Ben was sitting up in the seat beside me, and on the radio someone was playing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata...It was a sweet moment, and my only small regret was that I did not...
