The long walk to the barn in the night

Taking long walks at night became a habit long ago in the frozen north. I am still doing it today but the circumstances are much nicer. For more info, click on the picture or the link #canada http://ow.ly/r76at

Only in Cape Breton- Les Suetes winds

Remnants of Gabriele merged with a front and turned into a low pressure system will produce Les Suetes winds gusting to 90 km/h from Margaree Harbour to Bay St. Lawrence. More info at http://canadaonline.about.com/od/weather/g/les-suetes.htm

Rough Water Triggers Canadian Memories

Some rough water we experienced while fishing outside of Bogue Inlet makes me think of the Bay of Fundy and other spots where I have experienced some impressive waters in Canada. For more information click the link or the picture. #Canada #CrystalCoast http://ow.ly/ooPaU

Memories are like small towns along a highway

Looking back on our lives can be a valuable experience.

In some ways, memories are like small towns along a highway. You’re in the dark until all of sudden, you round a corner onto Main Street, where the memories are waiting for you like the inviting lights in a late-night diner.

Our new book- A Taste for the Wild, Canada’s Maritimes

If you happen to know anything about me, you might know that I worked at Apple for twenty years. That fact is prominent among other tidbits about my life in the tech world in my LinkIn profile. If you have visited my homepage you might also know that I had a farm in Canada for twenty years after graduating from Harvard.

Now there is a book, A Taste for the Wild, Canada’s Maritimes, about how I got from Harvard to Nova Scotia and eventually New Brunswick. It also includes some insights on how New Brunswick has changed since we left there in 1984.

If you are thinking about visiting Canada’s Maritimes there is also some travel advice. Best of all the Kindle Book is only $2.99 and includes the story of our honeymoon on the barrens of Newfoundland. You can easily read the book on any electronic device or with a browser by using Amazon’s free e-reader software.
