We Know The Moves

September 22, 2014 by ebembo

  The West Block, Parliament Hill, Ottawa – Scheduled to reopen in 2017 Having each calendar year begin on a seemingly arbitrary day smack in the middle of the winter – just another cold day, undistinguishable from the cold days that preceded it – always struck me as an odd way to start fresh. If I had my way, I would have advised Pope Gregory to start every year in September. What better way to begin anew than during the most dramatic […]

But there was one show in particular that I knew, hands-down, I would not miss: […]

Close to the Cold Coast

September 23, 2013 by ebembo

I’m very excited to be Snapshots & Needle Drops’ first guest blogger! Many thanks to Vappz, who is currently driving somewhere along the Australian coast, about to embark on a springtime fruit-picking adventure. Right now Montreal is experiencing that wonderful brief window when you wake up in the fall, spend your day in the summer, and go to bed in the fall again. It’s beautiful and warm, but there’s a certain crispness in the air. People are going out of […]
