Holy crap Mrs B! It’s been seven years already. I know you like the photo on your blog, but I like this one. Its more traditional I know, but nice.

We haven’t done too badly at all. In fact we’re dealing fairly well… through thick and thin etc etc. I love you Mrs B. Enjoy your spa day.

Okay… whatever… Cats In Sinks. Hey Dianne where are the cat in sink pics of Bobbie and Scamp?

What a great trip we had. I’m still processing all this emotional stuff, so I haven’t been blogging much. I’m finding it a bit hard to express what I feel right now. All I know is that its positive, but being someone who doesn’t do emotional well this is fairly overwhelming.

If you’re not bored already there’s more here (Pauly and the zookeeper should look again.

My buddy from my former gig at the place that shall not be named is doing some great photographic work. He made the cover of the Georgia Straight Style magazine this week. Check it out at Team Chronic Forums. Nice work Dex! You rock dude. Next stop: Vogue.

Lookie! It’s Dianne, me and Phil my half brother.

On Sunday we went to Truro to meet brother Phil and some more family. We met at brother J-P and wife Andrea’s place for some food and chit chat. Andrea sure has her hands full with Max and Carlie (two great kids) while J-P is working in Alberta. There were so many people to meet I hope I have them all in somewhat flattering poses.

I spent the day with Dianne, my birth mother, yesterday. Above is the first picture of us together after 36 years.

We had a pleasant day ‘catching up’ on 36 years of what’s happening and I enjoyed looking at her family photos. We met her co-workers (more like family and friends if you ask me), went to New Minas, a.k.a. New Mindless, to get birthday cakes for upcoming events and then watched Boondock Saints (she loves movies as much as I do) and just talked and talked. I couldn’t have asked for a better day. She gave me the photo a friend of hers sneakily took of me in the hospital just days old, my hospital bracelet, a copy of the ‘letter of apprehension’ from my adoption and the letter given her by the social worker once I had been placed with Mom and Dad.

More after the jump. —->

Arrived at 10:42 pm here in NS last night. Drove our fancy schmancy Buick Renedezvous like a crazy person to get to Mom and Dad’s place here and crashed out. Slept like a log and now it’s time to blog. Photos and more updates are on the way.

Makes sense to me. Thanks to Brother Phil’s Blog for the links.

Here we come. The next few hours see us packing, sleeping, riding, flying and driving… how exciting. I’m feeling rather verklemt. Off to Nova Scotia to meet more family. Friday is the big day. Dianne and I have a lot of catching up to do; 36 years worth. I’m going to her place to meet, then she’s taking me to meet her friends and co-workers and then its dinner on me.

Expect blogging and photos. Dad finally has a computer so I don’t even have to take my laptop. Wish us luck…
