  2. Save my Forest!

    Well for a little while I've known about this weird society dedicated to the protection of a little forest on the Western part of the Island of Montreal.

    The thing about the forest is that it happens to be named after my family. It is on the part of the island where my family came and settled in 18th century, back then we had some money and clout in the region. 200 years later we were a bunch of dairy farmers, time changes everything .

  3. The Allotment AGM

    Last week I decided to take the plunge. I’ve had an allotment for about three years now, (allotments were developed and leased annually during WW2 by local authorities to encourage the population to grow their own food to supplement food rationing, and still continue), but I hadn’t been to an AGM yet.

  5. Who's On First in Shakespearean

    Ok, I don't think most people outside the United States are going to get this. There is a classic comedy bit by a famous American comedy team, Abbott and Costello, on baseball and strange nicknames.

    Well this duo has taken the skit and turned the language into Elizabethan. If you're familiar with the skit, and you appreciate Shakespeare's language, you'll find this a hoot. I post this to commemorate the beginning of baseball season.

    Here's the skit on youtube: ...
