Once we arrived at Wompatuk, we connected with the MacQuarries. I have not seen Barry for a few years. We’ve both changed jobs since the last conference we hosted and coordinated together…Barry to a new firm and me, of…
There’s s.o.l and then there’s S.O.L!!!
As we wind our way south from our Canadian Extravaganza, we are finding ourselves with a new challenge, unfamiliar to midwesterners. HURRICANE WATCHING. We will be transiting the east coast through September and October, ultimately ending up in South…
Rare and More Rare. And not even discussing Steak!

Vikings: the “Original” (European) Newfies…
And we are proud to now call ourselves one! (Newfie, that is…certainly NOT Vikings) Our last couple of days at Griquet were spent touring the local area and visiting with friends. New friends. NEWFIE FRIENDS. Fellow Newfies! And, FINALLY, we…
