My love for Canada explained
I am Poppy, Mikey’s long lost sister. We finally found each other in 2006 through — who else? — Avitable. I’m not sure how widespread the secret is, but everyone finds everyone else through Avitable. It’s just a fact. ANYWAY, … Continue reading

Even if it makes me wrong
Hi All, I’m Janelle from Junk Food 4 the Soul. So Mike put out a call for guest bloggers. I’m nothing if not a blogger whore and love doing guest posts! If blogging had a hobby, guest blogging would be … Continue reading
The dark side

Some of my favorite things are Canadian

Dave’s Canada Travel Journal
This is not LeSombre. This is Dave from Blogography, and I’m guest-posting here while he is goofing off in Africa. Since Senegal’s national language is French, and LeSombre is a native speaker, I’m guessing he will have an easier time … Continue reading

Ce n’est qu’un aurevoir!
All right, I’m all packed. I have enough clothes for the whole trip (I hope), I have all my essentials electronics (phone, iPod, adaptors, power bars). I kissed the Zadorables and LovelyWife. I hope I can follow your adventures while … Continue reading
Cynicism: exit left
Before you go any further, you probably need to know a few things. I am Canadian. The “Canadia’s Blogger” banner up there might already have tipped you off, but I feel I need to reiterate that I’m not living … Continue reading
Monkeys
From the observation deck, I have a clear view of the monkeys. Watching them in their natural habitat, hidden in plain sight behind the glass partition, allowed me to learn a lot of interesting things about them. The first of … Continue reading
