Must… Finish… Post… Need… More… Coffee.
I know I haven’t posted in awhile. I’m finding it difficult to put together enough coherent thoughts with the lack of sleep that a newborn introduced into my life. Hilary is starting to fall into more of a routine but I still consider a two hour stretch of sleep a luxury. Most days I start

Vote for Ben Cruachan Blog
The nominations for the 2006 Bloggies have been announced. While I’m disappointed that only one of my favourite blogs are amongst them, it is a very good blog. Duncan at Ben Cruachan Blog writes a blog that gives me South Envy everytime I visit. His walks amongst the wildlife in Victoria Australia will leave you

Another Nunavut Blog
I know that many people come to my blog to learn more about Canada’s Arctic, and there is a great interest out there on our lives in the North. I’ve just come across another Nunavut blog – Nunablog which is written by two teachers new to Nunavut this year. You should probably go visit them

Rurality’s year end
One of my favourite bloggers is definitely Karen of Rurality. She is wrapping up her year with a couple of posts on the Blog Year in Review, Parts I and II. Part one shares some little known facts from her blog experience, and Part two links to some of her favourite posts of the last

For Whippoorwill, on the occasion of her last days at home before moving to the Big Smoke

Other Remembrances
While you’re there sitting with your hand on the mouse (No Ron, that’s not what I meant), take a trip over to Whippoorwill and to Bughunter for two excellent posts on their very different Remembrance Days.

Meme Addendum
Alright I’ve been meaning to do this for awhile. When Tony at Milkriver Blog responded to my tagging him with this Personal History Meme, he added additional questions and tagged me right back, the rat. If you’ve never visited Milkriver, make it a point to head on over. Tony must have an incredible amount of

100th Post
I was going to blame it on the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, but in truth it was a nuthatch’s fault. Its hard to believe that some five months and 100 posts have come and gone since I took this up, it has evolved and grown into something I didn’t quite intend. But I suppose I should

This and That
My sister has put her reply to the Book Meme in my comments here (as she doesn’t blog). As a bonus she has left three excellent quotes for the bibliophiles amongst you. Also check out the excellent prose of botanizing, the blog I’ve just recently added to my sidebar. Wonderful writing and well worth the
