Am I the only one? Saturday, February 01, 2003
It appears that an older gentleman has come forward in Summerside, to acknowledge he was the one who offered the 8 year old student a ride to school last week. Thus, the fear of a sexual predator in the area has been put to rest.

Nominees? Thursday, January 30, 2003

...and me. Nose deep in the hot tub with a wee dram in hand. Mr. Goof and Ms. Kes gently resting their chins on the side of the tub and glancing with worried frowns at the forest, where we can hear coyotes yipping.
