christmas in little missouri

Back in Hometown for Christmas and it's looking like a green one -- almost 10 p.m. Christmas Eve and it's positively balmy here in southwest Nova Scotia. Balmy in comparison to Ottawa, anyway -- earlier this aft I went running with only a t-shirt and capri pants separating me from the elements. In December! It reminds me of visiting Missouri in November and enjoying temperatures not seen in Ottawa since September.

I think I could be on to something here. Here's a little on-the-house sloganeering for you tourism types --"Nova Scotia: Canada's Missouri."

Now that's what I call marketing!

A few interesting sights, sounds and tastes I've encountered in these last few Hometown days:

- Santa on a motorbike

- A pickup truck with "My other ride is your girlfriend!" emblazoned on the tailgate

- Coyotes answering each other in the night

- Ostrich pie (dead serious - tastes like ground beef)

Seasons Greetings Aubree!!

Theres nothing like Christmas on the East Coast. Not that I have ever spent Christmas anywhere but the East Coast. But you know what I mean. The weather here in Newfoundland is also great. Just a light sprinkling of snow last night, that pretty much melted with the sun today.

Maybe you should bring ostrich pie for our potluck.

Cheers! See you in Ottawa in just a few days.
