Years ago before baby, before everything I was very active on this site but over the years, I just gave it up. Brief blasts of blog activity would be followed by crickets and based on the traffic stats over the last year (think 10 a day average) I am not the only one that stopped visiting.

But Wait! There’s More! I have actually been blogging at a site I share with others called Tenth to the Fraser. Unlike this site, this one has a focus: New Westminster. Over the weeks, we have had great success there with widespread interest, the attention of noted personages and fun and profit for all.

I was raised on First Street with my family and now I raise my children in the West End, near Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary. This website is to illustrate just what kind of town New Westminster is. It has often had an undeserved reputation but I have always known it as the perfect jewel in the center of the Lower Mainland. Tightly knit, self sustainable yet fully a part of the greater metropolis around it, New Westminster sits at the intersection of our regional commerce and the heart of our regional identity.

I have it from Gillian, who has it from Meg “it’s National De-lurking Week!”, who has it from Sheryl who has a Typepad blog and so at this particular time in cyberspace is not visible, that is it time for lurkers to lean just far enough around the corner for us to hear their cheeky little snickers.

Soooo…. De-Lurk!

I am trying a new thing. I am blogging from my bedroom. It is the same but softer and my schnauzer is warming my toes. Can you believe the below freezing temperatures? I had a business associate call me from Newfoundland call to brag about his weather. NEWFOUNDLAND!

Mary and Joseph.

And as for you all… come out, come out, where ever you are!

Just Like Jesus,

This poor comedian suffers for the sins of his country.

CONCEPTUAL RINGTONE SILENCES CELLPHONES

Subscribers Hear Four Minutes and Thirty-Three Seconds of Silence Whenever Someone Calls Them… Artist Jonathon Keats Offers Silent Ringtone Free-of-Charge Through Leading Mobile Content Provider Start Mobile… Silence May Go Platinum in 2007…

JANUARY 5, 2007 - Since the beginning of time, pure silence has been available only in the vacuum of space. Now conceptual artist Jonathon Keats has digitally generated a span of silence, four minutes and thirty-three seconds in length, portable enough to be carried on a cellphone. His silent ringtone, freely distributed through special arrangement with Start Mobile, is expected to bring quiet to the lives of millions of cellphone users, as well as those close to them.

Pardon me while I roll on the floor laughing.

And Kevin in Calgary (Kevin!) writes his agreement with the Provisio that: “the first person that I thought she looked like was Diana Krall”.

This is true, in addition to Nicole looking like Ali Larter, also looks like Diana Krall. Excellent excuse for my webstats too. At this rate, all we would have to mention is Terri Hatcher and the world will beat a path to my door (blog).

Truely funny. Picture Jon Stewart having a sleep over with GW Bush at the Whitehouse. Can’t? Then look at this. Rick Mercer in Stephen Harper’s Jammies.

I have found this picture on Wikipedia and I think it is beautiful, so here it is, right from Arizona,

THis is from something on YouTube called “Hope is Emo”

In a genius ploy to elevate the status of the disabled everywhere, my sister and her henchmen have formed a secret society for the purpose of total global domination. Firmly stroking calm white cats, Jocelyn and her ilk have bent their madcap skills to the creation of plasma laser death rays and waffle borne mind control syrup. Their strident symbol, posted above, displays their nefarious intentions.

Will we ever be saved from their destructive wrath? Can we live in a world where all street corners have access ramps and the deaf can clearly understand even our most publicly stated utterances? I don’t know how we will survive… I will be found firmly elevated by four flights of non accessible stairs until the crisis is abated.
