I know, I know - As one of the self-confessed navel-gazing Haligonians, I've been known to snub the other side of the bridge (or anything more than a five-block radius from my perch), but today I'll try to make up for this, one of my MANY faults. . . 1. Tonight (Fri., March 11) from 5 - 7:30, if you're hankering for some muzak, I heartily recommend you head on over to Dartmouth to the Celtic Corner Public House to listen to Dave McIsaac (he's a Cape Breton master of strings) and Louis Benoit (whose style always reminds me of his late father Jarvis). The Pub is at 69 Alderney Drive (464-0764). You'll even get a great view of Halifax from across the harbour:) Unfortunately/fortunately, I won't be there as I'm attending a LOOOOOOONG overdue reunion tonight with some of my dearest group of friends at the Fireside. Beware people who try to capture OUR table by the fireplace. I ALWAYS WIN THAT STAREDOWN!!!!!!!! And now for something different. It's true my passion is for fiction, but who can resist as the thermometer begins to creep up (like a snail, albeit) and the promise of buds lurk just around the corner...A great gift for the gardener in your life: 2. Saturday Book Signing: Jodi Delong will sign Plants for Atlantic Gardens, 2-3:30 p.m., Chapters Bayers Lake. Now, my return into the wacky world of Terry Fallis' The Best Laid Plans -- so far I have to say that the voice in the book hasn't completely won me over, HOWEVER the book has been worth the read if only for pages 1 and 2 of Chapter One -- If you make it to Jodi Delong's signing, do make a point of at least browsing The Best Laid Plans - skip the intro and allow yourself the joy of laughing out loud as you visualize the narrator about falling into dog poop!!!! My favourite line so far: "Airborne, I surveyed the terrain below and, with all the athletic prowess of a quadriplegic walrus, returned safely to earth, touching down on the aforementioned crap cushion." Wishing One & All a FANTABULOUS weekend, TartanFrog
