Happy Canada Day!
Check out this little guy who was hanging out in our backyard with his siblings and mom yesterday, stuffing Saskatoon berries in his mouth as fast as he could. After the photoshoot, Mama and cubs took off to find a quieter eating establishment:

The Toronto municipal workers’ strike has begun, and Toronto-types are all crossing their fingers in hopes that a settlement can be reached soon, especially with the upcoming warm weather (see forecast below). I was inspired to doodle the cartoon above after reading a Toronto Star article about how the strike is affecting the operation of [...]
Love this over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek video by New York hard-rock band Guyz Nite (the lead singer's name is Guy Manley). Entertaining and surprisingly moving. Click the image to see the video and read more...

- I'm continuing to gradually revamp the Urban Tapestry website, gradually adding songs back to our list. To make it more interesting for me and for visitors, I'm enhancing each song page as I add it back in -- often with cartoons or photos, plus a bit of background info about the song and how it was created. Allison and Jodi will add notes to their own songs when they have time but meanwhile I've been monopolizing the song list. :-) (more...) #
- On the weekend, Jeff and I attended the celebration of the 20th wedding anniversary of our friends Michelle and Tom. It's hard to believe that it's been that long though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised; Jeff and I will have been married 18 years this year. (more...) #
- I've updated the Urban Tapestry MySpace page with some new songs since we can now post 10 songs. I'm also starting to add UT songs with lyrics and background info to the official Urban Tapestry site, blog-style. Whenever possible, I'll also include a link to a place online where you can hear the song. Our MySpace page includes a song from our Very First album (now out of print, was only available on cassette): "I'll Be Fine", one of Jodi's songs. I also need to upload more songs to the FilkArchive soon, include Urban Tapestry's rendition of Heart Of The Mountain (Phil Mills has kindly given his permission). Hoping to do that this afternoon... #
- Hm...Love the theme, but the online documentation certainly needs some beefing up and there doesn't seem to be much online support; I suspect the creator is pretty busy with other lifestuff. I may switch back to Thesis. I like the look of TMA better, but without the support I'm not sure if I'm willing to stick with it. I've already paid a developer's fee for Thesis, and that theme comes with a lot of online support from the developer as well as the online community. #

Welcome to Debbie’s Blatherings
May 29th: I’ve finished the basic revamp, though it may be a while before I get all the entries properly categorized and tagged. If you’re looking for a particular entry, your best bet is to use the Search engine or the Archives. If you have problems reading this blog, please let me know with details (e.g. browser you use).
I post more often in Inkygirl: Daily Diversions For Writers than I do in Blatherings. See what I’ve been doing online via my FriendFeed.
