Three quotes passed along to me by my friend, Charles Small.
These thoughts are helping me deal with a 3-week writer’s block, which has been painful and debilitating.
The Quotes -
“A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.”– Thomas Mann (1875-1955)“I get a fine warm feeling when I’m doing well, but that pleasure is pretty much negated by the pain of getting started each day. Let’s face it, writing is hell.”– William Styron (1925-2006)“Writing … is a deeper sleep than death … Just as one wouldn’t pull a corpse from its grave, I can’t be dragged from my desk at night.”– Franz Kafka (1883-1924)
Time to get back at it.
Welcome back.
This weekend is the usually joyous “lift-in” of boats in our harbour, marked by meet and greet of old sailing friends from far and near.
A champagne and sandwiches kind of day. But not this one coming.
A HIGH of 2 degrees?
Parkas and potage de poule au thermos more like.
O Canada
And I want my new word to be recognised: Jafferhoea.

Well this would have been a much more salubrious weekend. In any case…spring is well in hand and summer is at the doorstep.
We are fortunate in this region of Canada, to have clean air, water and for the most part clear consciences.
Welcome back, L.A. and best wishes to you and yours…this lovely Sabbath Day.
G-D bless you.
In His wisdom He sent the Jaffers and others of that ilk to teach us right from wrong.
And I see that Mr. Harper is struggling with the lesson.
I guess my remaining question on this issue is this: if Jaffer were lobbying Conservative officials in his wife’s parliamentary office (illegally)…why did those officials not report that to their superiors at the time, instead of waiting for the media to discover it.
Perhaps it’s just one more flaw in G-D’s plan, which I am quite certain will be corrected eventually.
In the meantime, Minister MacKay has been chastised and our navy has been rescued.
All’s well on the Western Front.
