My wife and I looked forward to a great concert on the weekend. City & Colour (Dallas Green) was in town and we caught the show at the Halifax Metro Centre.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am not at present able to upload any media. To me part of what I want and need to tell in my storytelling must include graphics. This has led me to not posting. It also has led me to a realiszation about the importance of this blog to me. I am unsure
