Well, I realized that not only has it been a while since I checked my Blog, it's been a long time since I've posted. Mainly, it's because I've been billeting and the weather has finally begun to warm up, so I've been outside or doing cool, billeting things. These include such things are riding in a 1979 Triumph Spitfire, checking out the neighbour's Lamborghini and V-12 BMW, going to autoshows, and hanging with the nextdoor neighbour. So, I haven't spent a lot of time on the net recently, and I know that some people may be wondering whether I'm still alive. The answer is "Yes, I am still alive, and will do my best to get the site back up to speed." Right now, though, I'm going to bed.

Billeting Contacts!
Hey, so here's the deal. I'm billeting in the community for the next two weeks so if you need to get in touch, you can call me at (204)-235-0657. E-mail is always an option as I can check it both at home and at work, so mr.eddie.main@gmail.com. If anybody wants to mail me anything give me a call or an e-mail, and I can get you a mailing address. Picture descriptions have an ETA of sometime in the next two weeks and I may just begin composing another e-mail newsletter, so this gives people another opportunity to sign up. (Those already subscribed, do not have to do so again). Alright, this is all for now.

Quick Update!
Here's the deal. Billeting begins at the end of the workweek, i.e. Friday, and runs for the next two weeks. I'm hoping to get all the pictures on the site by then, and maybe discriptions, though I doubt it. March break is this week for the school and so there is a ton of stuff to be cleaned and not much time to be on the computer, but at least the internet seems to be working at home meaning that I can post pictures. G-mail works again, just in case anybody didn't see the comment I added.
I should know billeting contact info by Wednesday, which is the day that I meet my family, so expect it on the site sometime shortly after.
Enjoy the pictures.

More Picture Descriptions
Wow, I realized that I posted the pictures of the fire-spinning workshop twice, in both Part 15 and 16 and nobody noticed.
Katimavik - Part 17 is pictures taken at the end of billeting: my room, my packed stuff, the photo I left the family, etc. The Saturday after billeting was rise and shine early to go spend the day in Saint John, NB. We went to Canada's oldest consecutively run market, took a walking tour of historic downtown, visited the Saint John museum, had dinner at Taco Pico's (a Mexican restaurant) and went to see a Sea Dogs boxing match...I mean...hockey game. When we got home we had very little time before we had 3 groups in the house, with some rotating out only to be replaced by another. In all there were 5 Katimavik groups in Fredricton that Saturday.
Katimavik - Part 18 is pictures from my work place in Fredericton, York Manor Nursing Home. One of the favourite games was crokinole, though we weren't using the nice board that day. Greek night was Greek food and togas, scrounged from whatever fabric you could find in the house. (Don't I look good with blue hair, wrapped in a sheer curtain!) Then there's some shaving going down, followed by orange night, where food and clothes were orange.
Katimavik - Part 19 starts with a trio of nuts going jogging in winter, then a great spaced out shot. Then the long process of dying hair began, with two of us bleaching then dying all or part of our heads blue, and one going darker. Don't ask about the pillow, you don't want to know.
Katimavik - Part 20 is our overnight excursion to Moncton, NB. The first bunch of snaps comes from the Crystal Palace, an indoor amusement park. The museum type pictures are from the Acadian Museum in the University of Moncton. We then headed out to Hopewell Rocks and had a ton of fun exploring and running around in the tide flats and caves. We then went to a biodiverse, organic farm and learned about self-sustaining, organic farming, and got to chill with the cool animals. The last shot is of my great-great-aunt Pearl and I, taken at her house in Fredericton.
Katimavik - Part 21 begins with a Valentines Day party at York Manor, then moves into beard and hair cutting, which is part of Katimavik's unofficial sport, body modification. With a beautiful segway, I'll keep with the theme and move into body modification of a different sort, restarting a heart. Then with yet another body segway, we finish with a beautiful picture display lots of body. Who knows I might publish the photo-edited version the next time I'm putting up pictures.
