Crime & Blood | Donate
My hard-core addiction to police programs got me thinking about donating blood. Nightly I’m snuggled in deep watching America’s favourite police shows dubbed in Italian: C.S.I. Miami (swoon, David Caruso), N.C.I.S. (drool, Micheal Weatherly), and old skool 21 Jump Street (Oh, Johnny).
And every night without fail, there are realistic scenes of a crime, and a boat load of blood. Always pools upon pools of blood, everywhere. Then I start to think about the survivors, and their need for blood, should such a tragic accident happen. After this my thoughts spiral out of control and I begin to think about the poorer nations, those who haven’t clean blood to share, or those sick who need the blood that I am able to give.
A sign was posted in my town calling for blood donations on December 8th, 2011, I wrote it down in my day book
This year was going to be the year I donate my blood.
The Tailgate Party | Every Fans Delight
Tailgating Buffalo Bills Fans
Tailgate parties are an American pastime. Tailgate parties are an organized social events held around the tailgate (trunk, or boot) of a vehicle. Tailgating more often than not, involves copious amounts of cheap beer barbecued burgers, sausages and hot dogs.

There are pre-game tailgate parties and post-game tailgate parties. You are a true tailgater, if during the post-game tailgate you are still standing and chanting the teams support song. Continue reading
Sardinian BBQ in December
This past weekend we were invited back to the 12lb Snapper House for a traditional Sardinian BBQ. Being Canadian and one who was brought up on the best BBQ’s the world has to offer, I was excited to try a traditional Sardinian BBQ.
Ajo. Andemu in Cuzina per cena. Maureddu ha lu carne, e voule fare un BBQ. My husband said to me in his barbaric dialect.
Come on! We are going to the kitchen for dinner. Maureddu has meat, and he wants to have a BBQ.
I was a little thrown off as the 12 lb Snapper house is a bachelor pad with a nice fireplace, a sofa and a big screen on the wall but no BBQ. I figured ok, what the heck and left it to the two Sardinian guys and opened a bottle of Cannonau.

World AIDS Day | 12.1.11
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. ~Dr. Seuss
History will judge us on how we respond to the AIDS emergency in Africa … whether we stood around with watering cans and watched while a whole continent burst into flames … or not.

Fourteen years ago She sailed away. New found land In her Canadian way. Cities, outbacks and dingoes called. Oceans, islands and ships too tall. Blues, hues in journeys grasp. Anchors and tides, Her adventures rasp. Fourteen years ago She sailed away New found land as natures way.
