Old Man Luedecke

Every fall for the past 5 years my town hold a great folk festival called "Deep Roots" which is growing bigger and stronger every year. This performer is Old Man Luedecke who recently won a Juno (Canada's answer to a Grammy) for "Best Roots Traditional Solo Album of the Year." His music is like a cup of hot cocoa wrapped up in a warm blanket to me. These clips are of him playing at the Wolfville Farmer's Market on September 26th.

Gingerbread man from Shrek

I think Jenea was referring to this guy:




A gentleman of impeccable taste, no doubt, as given witness to by the loss of his legs and a hungry looking fellow behind him.




Now somebody with the same idea I have altered the image to give the hungry fellow a "Hannibal Lecter" look.

"I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye. "

It just Occurred To Me

Does it send the wrong message to my dog that her treats are shaped like people?

What would do you if....

.. the makers of spam managed to actually use the name of somebody you knew in real life on one of their emails? Imagine the coincidence if I actually knew Audrie Phung!

From the "WTH" File

My husband and I just got home from a short vacation in Bermuda. JetBlue was having a seat-sale and since we were in Boston we decided we'd buy some cheap tickets to Bermuda. While we were there we took the ferry on Sept. 4th to the Dockyard where there was a cruise ship docked. The cruise ship was called the "Norwegian Dawn" and it was out of New York.

I took a couple of quick snapshots with my pocket camera as the ferry went past the cruise ship. It was only on closer inspection that I discovered the cruise ship's dirty little secrets:

But the "piece de resistance" is this shot of two women standing on their balcony with their inflatable doll propped up in the corner behind them. Feeling secure that their boy-toy is hidden from the chamber-maids as they make up the room but completely oblivious to the fact that their 'giddy-up' flotation device is visible to everyone on shore.
