Theft: A Love Story

May 20, 2008 by Jen

I will confess from the beginning that I did not really like this book. It was the May choice for my book club, so I had to read it, and left to my own devices I may never have cracked the spine. Now, that is not to say this is a bad book. Many of the other members of my club did like it … [Read more...]

Some cheerful things on a cold, cold day

November 30, 2007 by Jen

It's cold. Frightfully cold. The kind of cold that makes my bones feel chilly and puts me in hibernation mode.  Though born on a snowy day in New Brunswick, I somehow never transcended my genetic roots (India) to embrace my Canadian climate.  I detest the winter and wish I could crawl into … [Read more...]

Weekend…What Weekend?

November 11, 2007 by Elizabeth Rush Brooks

Friday night - Mr. Husband's firm's 35th anniversary celebration at the Palais Royale....I was seriously underdressed and rather self-conscious all night but champagne flowed at the entrance and the band was fantastic - Prairie Oyster Band! Saturday 6 am - rise and shine in order to line up for the … [Read more...]
