Sad Morning

This morning I got an email from my parents saying they had to put down the dog last night. Very sad. She was very old (14 or so, which is pretty old for a mostly-Lab), and she had gotten pretty sick and couldn't even wag her tail anymore.

Halifax Event!

Hello Halifax Pride family member!

We have a FABULOUS event planned!

On December 17th, Halifax Pride is hosting an event that will be the most fun you can have with your pants on!!

It's the SINGALONG SOUND OF MUSIC!!

"It's just like a wholesome Rocky Horror Picture Show" said one local.

At Pitchman's Pub, Friday, December 17th. Start spreading the word! We'll have much more info for you soon. We'll have lyric sheets so you don't have to spend hours memorizing the songs. [Memorizing?? --Cam]

In the meantime: we would like to bill this event as the FIRST Singalong Sound Of Music in Halifax. Please, if you know this to be a fact OR you know otherwise, write back and tell [Dan].

I must say I'm incredibly pleased to hear that not only have the media spent another 48 hours talking about Carrolyn Parrish, but that Paul Martin actually spent all day working on the issue too. Goodness, it must be nice to have so little to do that a nutbar who likes to talk a lot can derail everything your government is doing.
