Celebrities Abound

Well, here I am on the fair isle of Prince Edward. The trip home was fairly uneventful aside from the fact that I was surrounded by "celebrities". On the flight from Halifax to PEI, I had the good fortune of sitting next to celebrity Joe McGuire. MP, Egmont Riding. Also one row in front of me, actually facing my direction was Brent Butt from Corner Gas. Apparently they are supposed to be filming an episode here.

In other intriguing celebrity news...Alexander Keith's will need to find a new spokesman since the actor that plays the angry Scottish guy has been charged with possession of child pornography. Also, Kristy Swanson of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame (the movie, not the tv show) has prompted Lloyd Eisler, figure skating Olympic meddalist, to run off with her, abandonning his two small children. What a great world we live in.

On a personal note, it is always interesting when the family gets together. Highlights so far include: a French uncle who looks like an Italian Mobster and sings like Father Abraham from that Father Abraham and the Smurfs album, a great uncle who uses a Whisper 2000 because he thinks it works better than a hearing aid and then uses it to listen to people talking across the room, inappropriate yet extremely funny funeral humour from sources who will remain nameless, and the strange things people do to make fools of themselves when there is a baby present (I was loving the the donald duck voice courtesty of my mom's cousin).

That's the news for now. The future holds a very omninous looking pile of leftover sandwiches. I'll let you know how it all works out.
