I’ve been remiss
I haven’t yet made mention of Comet McNaught that has been appearing in our South Eastern Sky during the "day". Both Darcy of Way Way Up and Jennifer of Nunablog have posted on it. The strange thing is that a link on one of the Nunablog posts led me to the discovery of my friend,…

Tales from Court
I have to admit I’ve been afflicted with a strange lethargy when it comes to writing lately. It’s not that I haven’t had things to write about, in fact there has been no shortage at all. But while I work up the will to get more writing done, here is my favourite court story. When…

Holiday Culinary Disasters

Late night thoughts while listening to some of the greatest poets.(Thank you Santa)
Just because you have written some of the greatest poetry, doesn’t mean that you can recite it with any skill. However, Dylan Thomas… he rocks. I’m pretty sure he could have read the classifieds and turned them into something powerful.

Dinner and more
It must be some sort of a record for a family supper. Last night we hosted Christmas dinner for both sides of Leah’s family and had a great turn out. I’m not sure how many people exactly were here, but I’m estimating around 70. Leah tried to count at one point and had reached over…

Worry.
It’s Christmas in the Arctic. Well, okay, it’s Christmas everywhere (except maybe Australia where it might already be Boxing Day). Tonight was one of those incredibly crisp clear nights, where the smoke from chimneys rises straight up. It’s getting cold, I think -35 or so, I’ll soon have to start wearing long underwear.
