Including Whale watching videos! photo credit: cgreb I am finally going whale watching this year. I have a car and I can almost drive it. Please note, driving a standard in the hilly town of St. John's is mighty scary. Please stay back if you see me. I know nothing about whales, but this is what I have gathered from all the literature I am reading, or by talking to people I have met and … [Read more...]

For example: a … [Read more...]

Everyone is Talking About Republic Of Doyle
January 24, 2010 By 2 Comments
One thing I actually like about living in my new small city is that when you walk downtown, you will always bump into people you know. This I actually find very uplifting now that I have learned it's impossible to just sneak out to the corner store and make sure that I am sufficiently unstinky and out of egg-stained pyjamas. This past week, when bumping into buddies, there was one topic of … [Read more...]
Afraid of Hiking Heights
September 5, 2009 By 5 Comments
I seem to be afraid of heights. Perhaps I haven't phrased that correctly. I am afraid of death seems more like it. Afraid of the sure death that is to come if you trip and slip off a cliff and crack your head open on the razor sharp rocks below. Yes. The perils of hiking have me a-feared.

Bill – My First Hurricane
August 22, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Living in Toronto, one doesn't come across hurricanes. You may get thunderstorms galore, and the occasional tornado (sometimes deadly, my heart goes out to Durham, Ontario) but the ocean is way too far away for hurricanes. But here in my new home, I am living by the sea. And the sea brings different weather patterns than the cities in the centre of the universe - er- country. The news is all … [Read more...]
