    I'm glad your trip went well--I was nervous for you both. How did the pooches handle all that time in the car?

    Hey congrats!

    You're lucky, you managed to get Buster in just a day or two before the ban took effect.

    Congratulations! Glad you made it safe and sound. Will you be changing the title of the blog to "we have moved to Canada"? Or perhaps, "we visit the Eaton centre"? And yes, it's a centre, not a center.

    Welcome to Canada. Too bad you arrive at the same time as Katrina, but it'll get better. I hear the sun does sometimes shine in southern Ontario.

    Bienvenue, mes amies! I'm glad that your trip was safe, and now--over, especially for good old Buster--poor guy.
    It still surprises me that Rogers kept their appointment with you--they've never been so prompt for me.

    Congrats to both of you!

    Wow, thanks everybody!

    Nerves, sushi, taxes, neighbours, Rogers, Katrina - all of it - it's all good. (Well, the taxes aren't so good, but someone's gotta pay for our health care, right?)

    :-D

poll: "this brings into very clear light how tenuous the support is for this" war

Canadians have had it with this pointless war in Aghanistan. Canadians' tepid support for the combat mission in Afghanistan would turn icy should the Afghan government proceed with a law allowing marital rape, a new poll suggests. A proposed family law code for Afghanistan's Shia minority would make it illegal for women to refuse to have sex with their husbands, and would require that they get approval from a male relative to leave the house. A survey by The Canadian Press/Harris-Decima suggests 40 per cent of Canadians support the Canadian military mission in Afghanistan. But should the family law code be enacted, the poll suggests opposition to the mission would rise to roughly 75 per cent. Jeff Walker, senior vice-president of Harris-Decima, said that at that level of opposition, it would be difficult for the Harper government to maintain its commitment to keep combat troops in Afghanistan until 2011. "This brings into very clear light exactly how tenuous the support i...

what i'm (also) reading: tween lit

Part of my assignment for the new Kids On Wheels magazine is writing serial fiction. I haven't written fiction in many years, and when I did, it was for teenagers; the KOW audience is 8-12 years old. I'm quietly freaking out, wondering how on earth I'm going to meet this challenge. I know I'll come up with something, but will it be anything anyone would ever want to read? To start my mind working along age-appropriate lines, I've been re-familiarizing myself with classic books for the reading level.

Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg, and the modern classic Holes by Louis Sachar. Everyone should read Holes , it is brilliant. It was also make into an excellent movie, with a screenplay written, thank goodness, by the author. All this r...
