It's still winter here



Greeting from St. John's where it is still Winter. Last week they had three big storms. BIG ones, no rain the next day just more snow. No worries, they're still upbeat and happy here. I think that's why I've always loved it here. I lived here when I was a tyke and later as a very impressionable 20 year old.

Needless to say I still enjoy coming here. When I'm here I usually stay at a little boutique hotel. I'm not a big fan of large faceless hotels. What a great city to eat too! Tonight I had a fantastic feed of Mexican at Zapata's . MMM I love Mexican food and this is GREAT stuff!!!!

Also on the must have list while here is a feed of fish n chips. Discussion of where to go can lead to warfare around here. Ches's, Leos, or now At the Beach is my current fave.

If I can't fit it in this time there's always the next one three months or so from now.

EVER FORWARD!

Mood of the moment ~ Doing my homework and now distracted
Tune of the Moment ~ No woman no cry- Bob Marley
What was for supper ~ Taco, enchilada, beans, rice and chili

Gimme Shelter!!!!

Hey kids did you know this our 7th straight weekend with a storm forecast? WTF!

Spring is here. The Easter Bunny is coming thru this weekend by boat likely.

I'm off to the Rock next week, suspect I won't moan about the weather here when I see the snow over there.

Enjoy your long weekend!

EVER FORWARD

Mood of the moment ~ Cold, wet, and frightened (Grandpa Simpson)

YOU'VE GOTTA LOVE DRUNK PEOPLE

A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push. 'Not a chance,' says the husband, 'it is 3:00 in the morning!'

He slams the door and returns to bed. 'Who was that?' asked his wife. 'Just some drunk guy asking for a push,' he answers. 'Did you help him?' she asks. 'No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!'

'Well, you have a short memory,' says his wife. 'Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!'

The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, 'Hello, are you still there?'

'Yes,' comes back the answer.

'Do you still need a push?' calls out the husband.

'Yes, please!' comes the reply from the dark.

'Where are you?' asks the husband.

'Over here on the swing,' replied the drunk.

Only one person I think of here and that's Kevin Croft.

EVER FORWARD

A bad cat day

While I don't regret sending Sox to Alberta this does make me laugh...

Cape Breton Funeral

Cape Breton Funeral as told by a retiring Minister...

"As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a grave-side service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there. As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and being a typical man did not stop for directions.

I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew, who was eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight. I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place.

I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul. As I preached the workers began to say 'Amen,' 'Praise the Lord,' and 'Glory'! I preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached before: from Genesis and Ecclesiastes all the way to Revelations. I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car.

As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, ' b'y, I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.'"
