Rememberance Day
Two minutes of silence really isn’t enough when it comes to thanking and honouring our veterans.  But sadly there are those who do not stop to remember, their lives over take the meaning of day and they continue to rush around with out a thought.   Terry Kelly puts this into a song and a wonderful video for all to take the time to stop, bow your head, and remember.

Solidarity
Well my two wee little baby cousins (aka the Brats) have a band called Solidarity… it’s actually a pretty dang good band at that.  They are based out of Windsor Ontario and have been doing gigs around Ontario for the last few years now.  They have also had air time in Windsor and played at a few festivals.  They did put out a CD a few years back called “Transgression”  (hey brats if that’s the wrong name email me)  and now they have another CD out called “Overcome”.   They’ve now put out a little promo of themselves on you

My Pavarotti fix
I can probably thank my mom for me listening to Pavarotti, and now that he’s gone I appreciate him even more.  I ‘ve always loved his voice and comic character when he was on stage, but one of my favourite songs and probably one of his best performances was Nessun Dorma by Puccini.   

Mini Vacation (part two)
I’m back!  With the second part of our mini vacation to the UK for a wedding. On the Saturday of the wedding, we had some time to go to the local shopping mall in Telford… aaaaaaahhhhh a real mall!!  There aren’t any malls where I live and I can honestly say I miss it!  Normally I wasn’t a mall person living in Canada, but after nearly a year of not having one right next door, I miss it.  I had a great time wandering around looking at different things I can’t get in NL, or going into the department stores and *sigh* getting all I need in one stop.  Oh sure we have the V&Dhere in,

A mini vacation (Part one)
A few weekends back, Frank and I took of the UK for a wedding of a very good college friend Jonathan and his now wife Sarah.  I’ve known Jonathan since the first day of college when he made some smart-ass remark about me playing the flute (no band camp jokes please) and I gave him an evil look.  Since then we’ve remained friends and he still has most of his limbs attached.   The wedding was wonderful, the trip there was great minus the nasty, skanky ass hotel that we stayed in in Calais.  Yes Erwin I still plan on beating the snot out of you for recommending the hotel.  Here let me give a mini version of the play by play weekend vacay!! We left
