That Smart like Streetcar and Tempest in a Teapot have had to flee with their domains to a far and distant land in order to avoid the evil King Herod and his minions of shittiness.*
You can find Kristina here.
And Richard here.
Please look for us in our new homes in Nazare…. er, in some unnamned [...]

Two Things about Two Hearts

Have a look at Christina Martin’s new video. I think she has a lovely voice, and I really like this song.
After you listen, I hope that you’ll head over to Much More Music and vote for this video on their top 10 program. It’s currently #5 with a bullet. (I don’t [...]

Holy Shit, Kyle
Posted in Life, Nova Scotia on September 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Night is descending, and the wind is picking up. Kyle appears likely to pass south of us, but he’s a big fella, and hurricane winds are expected to extend across most of southern Nova Scotia. It’s pretty dramatic already.
We’ve battened down the hatches, but I am worried about the health of a couple of old [...]
Hurricane Kyle

On a Sunday afternoon, five years ago, Hurricane Juan roared up the mouth of Halifax Harbour. It was a Category 2 storm that did extensive damage, knocking down more than 70,000 trees in Point Pleasant Park alone, and cutting a wide swathe right across the province.
Living in the heart of the city, we lost power [...]

My niece, Elizabeth, married her sweetheart Andrew over the Labour Day weekend. My niece, Adriane, is farthest to the right.
We had a really enjoyable night.
Grace (Period)

Apparently, I was a little hasty. Our domain registrar has a grace period, so we’ll maintain control over the domains for the next 12 days, and no one can purchase them out from under us. That gives me time to pay the bill.
A dozen days and counting!
I’m not sure if the domain registry will continue [...]
The Last Hurrah

I’m sorry for such short notice, but after today, Smart Like Streetcar will be no more.
In a nutshell, we can’t afford to renew the domain names for SLS and Tempest in a Teapot and so, after today, they will lapse. And this link will fail. As will our email addresses.
I can’t begin to tell you [...]
Friday

Looking back at our neighborhood, from across Lunenburg Harbour.
But this momma and papa weren’t thrilled that I ventured so close at feeding time.
Save this for a bad day!

I’ve loved Feist* since Kristina first introduced me to her music about three or four years ago; but now she’s found a place in my heart forever. See if you agree.**
