Odds & Ends III
Bluesfest Comes To An End
Bluesfest is over. I had a blast. During 10 gorgeous consecutive summer evenings, with a few sunny afternoons thrown in, I caught over 30 live acts. My favourite things? The music, the dancing, and the proximity to my home. My favourite acts? Too many to list. Do I plan to do it again next year? You betcha!
An Interesting Evening Of Discussion
The people: 4 food-loving, conversation-hungry individuals
The place: The Black Cat Café. Eclectic, exquisite, expensive. They have TVs built into their washroom floors.
The food: Cucumber gazpacho with grated Granny Smith apple; Buffalo mozzarella on sourdough with sun-dried tomato vinaigrette, black olive purée and pine nuts; Vanilla-cinnamon ice cream experience for dessert.
The subject: Society and the Civil Space
The outcome: Piqued interest in the concept of rationalizing individual freedoms with the constraints of social responsibility; a potential read called The Dialectic of Freedom, by Maxine Greene; the discovery of a new fruit: lichee.
Me, My Car, My Travel Mug
I'm making the trek to New Brunswick for a weekend family reunion full of music, merrymaking, and lots & lots of love. I can't wait to see everyone. While I'm down there, I might take a few detours to relax, explore new places and get my fix of salty sea air. I'm looking forward to it. I'll tell you all about it when I get back. Right now I have to go pack! :)

As they say in the biking world, keep the rubber side down! Enjoy your drive, the road, the fresh salty air, your family, and all the things that come from having an adventure.
Be well!
Thanks Lala ... looking forward to catching up when I get back!
