Hello Newfoundland - All About Canada's Best Kept Secret
You can't live in Newfoundland without thinking about overfishing. In this TED video the truth about it is driven home - it's bad news.

I seem to be afraid of heights. Perhaps I haven't phrased that correctly. I am afraid of death seems more like it.

I've been here in st. John's for 5 weeks and 2 days. And I have to say it's been a resounding success. In other words - I loooovvvvvvvvve it.* Sure, there've been a few of those "I've made a huge mistake" moments - a phrase that will kill me forever thanks to Will Arnett's impeccably comic delivery in Arrested Development. Gawd I love that show. The first "moment" came when I first got … [Read more...]
I should have been blogging, but I haven't been blogging. My big beautiful blogging dream was to start this months ago, during the prep time for my big move to Newfoundland from Toronto. I was going to talk about all the trials and craziness that happens when one packs up and goes.
