Where did your name come from?

An unhinged apostle. Or, a Viking who took a wrong turn and ended up in SE Asia.

Let’s start with my first name. Oh, Saint Paul. Wasn’t his head lopped off?

And my last name. I still remember working at Yves Fine Foods Ltd. Our Indo-Canadian production crews asked if I was raised in southern Asia. Neem. Neem oil. Neem! In Estonia, it’s apparently as common as “Smith” is in America (both continents).

With apologies to Azadirachta indica or Indian lilacs.

t.h.w.t.b. cELEBRATION – ON THE PENINSULA

Last year, we shot off to the United States for a couple of weeks, in lieu of doing a To Hell With The Bell breakfast in Ontario. Not this year! At 08:30 EST, I stood up in the almost deserted Ferndale Hungry Hiker, and pointed to an imaginary clock over their fireplace. And gave a toast. To add to the silliness, I waved at all the school buses like a crazy person. Tobey just furrowed her eyebrows (and was probably wondering if I had finally blew a fuse). Or something like that. This will become my yearly ritual — at least until the absurd and vivid teaching dreams stop. Here are some images from the day:

This shed will be put on a gravel bed w/ paving stones.
PN doesn’t like the colour.
PN will have to wait.
Their assembly shop, from the office.
I’d go with 2 of these @ the gate-posts.
Remove the chains, add whiskers, and this is it!
Yooo hoo, bears! Come and get the lawn clippings. 🙂
This is the 2nd colander.
Holy hell! The crust is excellent. Like a little sweet potato pie!
