Halifax Broad: The power of pink.
http://halifaxbroad.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-power-of-pink.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. The power of pink. Cars spill out onto aptly named Vimy Avenue. Many a war has been fought here, and as we wander through the familiar door, I sense the fight against mould and memory is a losing battle. I choke up on so many levels. Tonight though, we are spectators. My boy is beside me, wishing he wasn’t, and we have come to cheer on the Halifax Hawks midget double-A team — for no other reason than love and support — a little something I picked up along with...From what I underst...

Halifax Broad: The wandering I.
http://halifaxbroad.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-wandering-i.html
Friday, November 28, 2014. When proposing a book on nomadism, British travel writer Bruce Chatwin set out to answer the question, "why do men wander? And I'm not talking philandering. I suffer from motion wellness. No barf bag required. My restlessness is genetic. My dad loved nothing more than pouring Sambuca in his coffee and hitting the road. Destination: who cares. Fitting then, when my stepmom called to see if the Little Bastard would be interested in my father's old 1994 Jeep. I'd like to say this ...

Halifax Broad: Raising lovely little bastards.
http://halifaxbroad.blogspot.com/2012/05/lovely-little-bastards.html
Thursday, May 10, 2012. Raising lovely little bastards. I watched and chuckled this week, as a navy-blazered father smugly taught his children that doing what is right, is not as important as getting something for nothing. That lying and condescension and bullying are funny, and that money and appearances and a free ride, are more important than integrity, respect, kindness, or hard work. Oh well, fuck them. More than they take". Let me repeat: Grant wishes to terminally ill children in Poland. Laura and...

Halifax Broad: Red, whities, and blue.
http://halifaxbroad.blogspot.com/2012/11/red-whities-and-blue.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Red, whities, and blue. The red stain, slowly leaking through the big-girl electoral panties was sickening to watch. Fortunately, I have lived through enough American elections to have faith – that west of the Honey Boo Boo belt – common sense would prevail, and redneck would give way to blue. But, who will ever forget 2000? We were living in California, and I watched in horror as Florida exposed its scraggly Bush to the world. This was going to be a long night. Is going back...

Halifax Broad: Dear Mrs. Feenstra,
http://halifaxbroad.blogspot.com/2012/07/dear-mrs-feenstra.html
Saturday, July 7, 2012. Dear Mrs. Feenstra,. So where was I? June was a blur of cake, and acclimatizing after a delicious vacation. Routine turned to summer, and plastic glasses were hoisted over and over in recognition of milestones: Birthdays, graduations, Tuesday, arrivals, and departures. June saw the Little Bastard squeaking through Advanced Math 12, and I finally had my day in Small Claims Court – with that, came the opportunity to say " soulless douchebags. 8211; out loud. I told them about the se...

Halifax Broad: Oh, Wilbur, I do believe I am blushing.
http://halifaxbroad.blogspot.com/2009/07/of-course-of-course.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Oh, Wilbur, I do believe I am blushing. Imagine my panic and sheer delight when I saw the words: Equine Wedding Portrait Photography, all mashed together in the same sentence. Whoa, Nelly, get back on track. And, please tell me you are old enough to remember Mister Ed. If not, fuck off and go read Harry Potter. Or Confessions of a Shopaholic. That dog was really happy to see her. A talented, local photographer who captures boring old horses and stupid old weddings. Jesus You'd t...

Halifax Broad: April 20, 2014
http://halifaxbroad.blogspot.com/2014_04_20_archive.html
Sunday, April 20, 2014. And by Centennial, you mean built in 1967? 8220;I want to play hockey.” My son said. Repeatedly. 8220;No you don’t.” I replied. No such luck. Even with kids half his height and age buzzing past him, my gangly six-year old barely stopped to lick the snot off his nose. I could tell by the glazed expression under his Hannibal Lecter cage, that I was screwed. The sobering “call” came a few Friday nights later. I was knee deep in a bottle of wine, relaxing by the fire, ...For instance,...

Halifax Broad: June 30, 2014
http://halifaxbroad.blogspot.com/2014_06_30_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. Several August moons ago, I stormed up to the registration tent at the Nova Scotia Open and tried to remove myself from the tennis tournament. 8220;What’s the problem? 8221; asked the official. 8220;My partner is an asshole.” I replied. 8220;What category are you in? 8221; he asked. 8220;Parent and Child,” I said. Never mind that the adult opponent spared no pace when directing shots at my kid. I just wasn't going there. Evidently, the win-at-all-costs mentality is omnipresent....
