The Mailman

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.

Hanging Out in Austin

Spending time in Austin was a matter of renewing acquaintance with former friends. 
I got to learn the intricacies of Senior's Softball, stay awake for 3 hours of Traditional Jazz, worship at Gethsemane, renew my library card, see trains miniature and full-sized, visit the Moline Cemetery, eat BBQ, see ersatz Elvis perform, shop at HEB, drink Shiner Bock, read the Chronicle, and attend Pflugerville's Deutchenfest where I tried bratwurst and sauerkraut. 

 

Two weeks went by rather quickly.
