I've recently had a scary incident with hypertension. After a 10-hour hospital visit, my doctor put me on two types of blood pressure medication to get my symptoms under control. It was a really scary day. Scary enough that I've replaced bacon with cheerios, and all beverages with water. (I mean there are more changes, …
Raymond
Dear Ray, I had Mary Brown’s for supper. Today I was really lost. The last time I saw you, you were lying on your belly watching Beverly Hills Cop with Jane and I. I promised I wouldn’t eat Mary Browns again until you could, in solidarity. Today, I ate it just to honour you, I …
The Truth About Icebergs
I'm burying the lede here. Purposefully, but you'll get it later. Today I met Megan Gail Coles, the author of Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club. I had first heard of this author from a CBC Radio interview with Tom Power. I knew instantly that I had to read her novel.. Why? …

Attended the Labrador Traditions Craft Fair today to re-stock my Spruced Up Labrador goodies. Of course I saw so many beautiful pieces of art there. I managed to scoop up a few things. Here's some pics from today, and recently. M.

Fall that quickly became winter
It's only the 7 of November but it feels like we're in the middle of winter here in Goose Bay. We've had a crazy amount of snow (and still falling as I type). The Internet has been touch and go, and sometimes the lights flicker. It's kind of funny considering a book I read recently …
Fall Beginnings
I took a trip home to St. Lewis to spend Thanksgiving with my family. It was really nice to spend time in the shed with dad, and to spend time crafting with mom. And I mean, the turkey dinner wasn't too shabby either. Here's some photos from recently. Cheers; M.
