A blast from the past !!! <br /> <br /> Long time no chat .... Amazingly I stumbled across your blog once again ( last time i saw it was about 3 years ago ) <br /> The tale of rediscovery involves a weeklong golf trip to PEI this summer with 11 drunken Newfies and an email to a link on your Blog to your Bubbles sound board from a misplaced newfie I met on the trip who is now living in Winnipeg. As a Caper friend of mine once said "Small World .. wouldn't want to paint it "<br /> <br /> Anyways ... I was fascinated by your reunion with your Birth Mother .. and it has inspired me to embark upon the same journey. <br /> I know that somewhere in your posts you gave the jumping off point for contacting the government agency ... could i trouble you to forward the info to me ... along with any helpful advice that you may have .<br /> <br /> Again .. congratulations ... it gave me shivers as i followed your posts leading up to the reunion and the followups afterwards ... I'm really happy for you .<br /> <br /> Thanks,<br /> <br /> Regards,<br /> <br /> Paul K. Hey Mike ,

Anyways … I was fascinated by your reunion with your Birth Mother .. and it has inspired me to embark upon the same journey.
I know that somewhere in your posts you gave the jumping off point for contacting the government agency … could i trouble you to forward the info to me … along with any helpful advice that you may have .

Again .. congratulations … it gave me shivers as i followed your posts leading up to the reunion and the followups afterwards … I’m really happy for you .

All within three years too. Looking back at the adoption posts I can see many of the questions from the voices in your head (all of your posts actually ;)). I'm glad they're quiet now, if only you couuld get the neighbors to shut up.<br /> <br /> My suggestion is to close the 'Adoption' category now and open a new one: 'Family'. I thinks it's safe to say you're no longer an adopted person, you're just a guy with one great big family.

Would this be some strange vernacular only known to Nova Scotians? Does have a cute ring to it though. <br /> I wonder what it means....sort of sounds like a dance or a new model of car, or even some sort of Slovakian dessert. Ah yes my good man, I think I'll have the titso and a coffee! I’m with Pauly…..titso? Would this be some strange vernacular only known to Nova Scotians? Does have a cute ring to it though.

The boat was not my best work...I make a mean crane, though.<br /> <br /> Oh, and Rachel got an angel figurine as well AND a book about being happy. Remember? One of the sayings in the little book was "Smile! It confuses people!" I will agree. The boat was not my best work…I make a mean crane, though.

But it's nice to dream anyway....<br /> If I was gonna buy an island..it would be in Belize. Yeah dream on…I can barely afford gas and the toll to Vancouver to see my sister!
