Channeling David Fife

I have three, thriving Red Fife seedlings. I once had 120 lbs of Red Fife flour from Upper Canada Village near Kingston Ontario. It nourished us. Soon I will have more, thanks to friends at our local and organic market.

There is a farm in Vonda, Saskatchewan called Loiselle Organic Family Farm, Canada's Outstanding Organic Farmers of 2007. This is Marc Loiselle in his field of Red Fife.




My mother was raised on a farm in Allan Saskatchewan.

As you can see, the wheat in my family has not fallen very far from the stalk.

What would Ike do?

Waiting for the morning bell on the TSX/NYSE and wondering, in these parlous times...how would Ike have handled this crisis?

Namaste makasinkwe!

Now you know how to greet people in Hindi!

Same old same old, flickr. To you I say, टॉयलेट कहाँ
The day you add Chinook jargon to your greetings will be a day of general rejoicing around this blog.

When Morpheus eludes



Too fucking much, eh? A dollar a letter. I've spent $6.00 and had nothing to show for it but a tummy ache. Wiktionary WOTD 2 November 2007. I tried other faves but they weren't in these mad Irishmen's lexical funland. If your fave is in the dictionary you can email them and ask for it. As if moi...not. As of 5:30 a.m. EDT oxymoronic was still available. But, as I'd just lost my PayPal virginity it seemed unseemly to be greedy.


Is this a good thing?

Hi Ann.landrey, on behalf of the Welcoming Committee, Welcome to the English Wikiquote!

Yeah it's a good thing. There's a big Wikipedia article on my 3rd cousin twice removed Cosmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1928 to 1942. Presided over the 7th Lambeth Conference. There's one of those telling red lines about his father, John Marshall Lang. Nothing. Just happen to have a comprehensive family genealogy document on him. Now I can put it all up.
