As I mentioned, yesterday, The Canadians came down for the holidays. While I’d assumed they’d come by dogsled, Diane had a preference to fly citing a lack of needed snow over my question of her ability to mush a bunch of dogs 2,500 miles. After a bit of conversation on this topic – even my [...]

Today is December 28th. So… it was two weeks ago that the Canadians invaded. Diane and her brood – five children and a small dog – left home in time to arrive at the border some time around midnight. She’d called just before the family hit The Peace Arch Crossing, to let me know they [...]

Twenty-four hours ago there were ten people in the house. Twelve hours ago there were seven of us.

A rerun per my July 5th, 2009 note to you all. It is edited quite a bit. Originally posted September 3, 2005. Many of you are probably unaware that just a mouse-click away is a .wav file featuring the St. Brendan’s 5th-grade band playing Jingle Bells. And not just Jingle Bells – but Jingle Bells [...]
