It’s been one year since I left you, and I’ve thought about that a lot since. I realize now how poorly I handled our relationship. I’m sorry. I’m in a much better place now and I see things more clearly. I was wrong when I said that it’s best we don’t see each other. I […]

I miss you, The Coast
I’m writing to profess my undying love to you, The Coast. I live in another province now. There’s just no paper here that compares. Our local papers are not free and our primary local news sources are controlled by an oil baron. Maybe someday I’ll arrive at my own list of Best Ofs here but […]

Thank you
I was just going to pay for something and when I reached for my wallet, it wasn’t there! I rushed back to the Halifax Central Library and, lo and behold, someone had found it and turned it in to the front desk. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It’s been a rough year and only lately has […]

You know how I feel
I’ve felt this way for months. I held it back, thinking you could never feel the same. But then we got closer and closer. Now, I’m hooked. You’re the most vain person I’ve ever met and yet, I don’t care. I love all of your unusual traits. I just wish you could love mine. So, […]

Gratitude for returning my car key and wallet
Thank you to the unknown person(s) who found my car keys and wallet with my ID in it in the vicinity of Barrington Street on Sunday, and took the time to return them to my home. I cried with relief and gratitude when my daughter arrived and gave me my keys and wallet, not just […]

to the self check-out master
What’s the best part about doing your groceries late at night at the North Street grocery store (besides generally avoiding most other humans)? THE SELF-CHECKOUT MASTER. Everyone rants about the self-checkout machines eliminating jobs, but these machines have clearly allowed the guy that often works the night shift overseeing the machines to RISE TO THE […]

It all comes crumbling down my face
To the cafes around this town that have decided it is beyond their capability to butter a bagel, but will hand you a hand-wrapped cube of butter (something that likely took longer than buttering my bagel as requested): You must be curing cancer. How busy are you, really? I see you. You aren’t that busy. […]

Failing the ones who need it the most
Like honestly folks, here’s the elephant in the room: Our lovely home feels the need to dump endless amounts of cashola into needless crap (ahem, it’s a good percentage of YOUR paycheque) like stadiums, signage for BS smoking spots and so forth. Have we totally forgotten or are just most of us unaware of the […]

“Security” guy in company car needs to learn to obey traffic laws
The Nova Scotia Advocate reported “eight pedestrians hit in a 24-hour period” yesterday and I am shaking my head as a pedestrian at the complete disregard for my well being tonight.You, a male driver, in a company security vehicle turning on to Gottingen Street from the MacDonald Bridge close to midnight, did NOT stop for […]

To the guys who helped us into the radar station
Thanks for helping us (me) get my ass in the building. That was not going to happen without you offering to become human stairs and haul my ass up. And, having a tour guide didn’t hurt.—One who typically keeps two feet on the ground

Speaking of abuse
To the woman that pulled over your black minivan at the bus stop at the corner of Dunbrack and Main streets one morning this weekend to get out, open the hatchback and beat your dog: Shame on you!You are lucky I am not of the generation that has the reflex to pull out a phone […]

Bus angel
Friday—the day we got nailed by Mother Nature—you came along Spring Garden Road in your shiny bus and ‘rescued’ a group of people standing by a bus stop. You suggested we all get in because even you weren’t sure when the next bus was coming. We climbed in and you made sure no one was […]
