I can’t continue like this. I’m going stark raving mad! Stark raving mad, I tell you! I can’t sleep. I can’t eat . . . Oh, who am I kidding? Let me start again. [*Clears throat*] I can’t continue like this. I’m going stark raving mad! Stark raving mad, I tell you! I sleep all…

Just when you think you’re going to have to suffer through another cloudy sugarfree day… in walks a ray of sunshine laden with sweets & goodies. That’s right, we had a visit from our local candy lady! Rhonda Barry of Barrylicious dropped in with her homemade candies, fudge, almond bark, peanut brittle… shall I go…

Great day today! Leslie and I went for a walk at French Fort Cove *If he says I was wheezing and falling behind don’t believe him* and we also had a lesson in server technology. Fun stuff I gotta tell ya! I’m boldly going where Stacy has never gone before. There are lots of acronyms…

Yesterday, I was kind of half-listening to a band on television and they were really upset about people downloading their music for free off the Internet. They said it was like if you went into a record store, loaded up your arms with all the CDs you could carry, and then left without paying whistling…

I think the local newspaper is going to run an article about Bread ‘n Molasses. Several months ago I was interviewed by a reporter over there but like so often happens in this line of work, other stories needed more immediate attention and ours got put on hold. Then last week I heard from her…

Stacy and I just got back from a fantastic supper at the Portage. I love their fried chicken dinner with rice. Yummy! This evening we both tried the Turtle Cheesecake and it was quite delightful. I totally ate too much and now I’m all sleepy and lazy, don’t know how I’ll get anymore work done.…

You know when it’s been a week and nobody at Mighty Miramichi has taken time to blog, things are crazy busy. And boy! Are things crazy busy? Or is it just me? It seems like we’ve got so much going on none of us can even slow down to tell you all about it. As…

Last night I had a dentist appointment at 5:30. I love my dentist! I’ve been seeing him for a couple of years now and he’s the best dentist I’ve ever had. In the past I’ve had problems with swelling and bruising from man-handling while my face was frozen. And once I almost passed out from…

I watched some of the Canada A.M. broadcast this morning live from Halifax Harbour. I knew Gary Beals and Richie Wilcox from Canadian Idol were scheduled guests and I was interested to learn what they’ve been up to since the show ended. Unfortunately, I didn’t really learn much about them. Both are apparently busy and…

Since it is the first of the month, I just checked out the mightymiramichi.com reports for October and wow! We had 11,458 visits last month! The report function is pretty cool. It tells us how many visits & hits the site gets, broken down daily & hourly, which pages are viewed most often, the search…

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last blog and quite a bit has happened since then. Mel and I moved into our new apartment – finally!! I was really anxious to move in. I have lived by myself for the last couple of years and I found it very lonely. I love having…

I read an interesting editorial today in the Rabble ezine. “The Suggestion Box in the Apricot Tree” by Anuradha Vittachi gives a lot to think about. Regardless of your personal views about the particular project in Kenya, I think the main point of this article is an important one that everyone should give some thought.…

Sunday is my day to watch tv. I’m a big pop culture junkie and I watch a lot of tv anyway, but Sunday is the day when I tune into Book Television (the channel) and the CBC. I watch Richler Ink, CBC News Sunday, Hot Type, Arts & Minds, Inside Media, Mansbridge One on One,…
