A blog full of memories
Fly home…if you can. Partake in festive holiday drinking. Play the ORIGINAL VINYL RECORD of Father Abraham in Smurfland album. Phone family members and friends who are far away. Play Smurfin’ Beer and sing karaoke into the phone. {…hic..} sorry
A few nights ago, I went out for After Hours at the Ravenous Restaurant here in Healdsburg. That is, I went just to hang out and get a bit of conversation and meet some interesting people before I turned in myself. Ravenous is a local restaurant in an old house on Center Street. The entire …
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Today is Remembrance Day in Canada. My Dad will be participating in the local parade in Whitehorse. I want to post a picture of him in his regalia. My Dad never actually fought in a war, but the military is a big part of …
