Born on a mixed subsistence farm in rural Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Canada. Moved to Ontario in 1967 to attend University at what was then Waterloo Lutheran University and moved to Oakville, Ontario in 1971. Without intending to live up to the name became a letter carrier the following January and have worked for Canada Post ever since. I retired in August of 2008.

Spring? Lament

Restless night after too much caffeine yesterday.

Cold grey sky today with wind-blown rain and the temperature dropping.

Going back to bed seemed like such a sensible thing to do.

Too many four-letter words in tomorrow's forecast but it's the one beginning with “S” that gives one pause. This is May 15 we're talking about? Should I bother to get out of bed at all? That Marmot must still be hibernating and would that we could as well.

The standard wisdom was don't plant anything delicate before Victoria Day. That's next week if you missed it.

The birds had all but abandoned my bird-feeding station but with weather like this expect they'll be back.

Tried some hot salsa and it seems my digestive system has reset and rushed it right through me. Too much information?

The CUPW, AKA Canadian Union of Postal Workers are advising members to get a 3-month supply of maintenance drugs as of June to see them through a possible strike or lock-out. In the same newsletter they are promoting Postal Banking. Does anyone else see a problem here?
