Saturday Morning Roundup

It seems that most of the excitement in my week happens on Saturday mornings. With [[Oliver]]. This week:

• We bought iced tea from Haida Arsenault-Antolick, working at [[Karin LaRonde]]’s stand at the [[Charlottetown Farmer’s Market]]. Haida is the Green Party candidate in Cardigan and I can’t imagine a better opponent for Laurence MacAulay.
• We decided to split a smoked salmon bagel instead of ordering two. To pull this off I had to unilaterally declare today “Sharing Day.” As such, if you feel an urge to share, today’s the day to do it.
• It being Sharing Day and all, [[Oliver]] made me take four of his Baby Einstein DVDs into [[the office]] and put them on the [[silverorange]] DVD sharing shelf for [[Isaac]]’s new baby Saul.
• We revisited the Home Depot, but decided that we couldn’t fit an 8 foot by 3 foot piece of hard insulation in the [[car]].
• We made out usual stop at the Ellen’s Creek Plaza [[Formosa Tea House]]. If you sometimes pine for the Formosa of olde, when it was small and on University Ave., I highly recommend visiting the new location, for, although it’s in an otherwise dreadful strip mall, it faithfully recaptures some of the spirit of the original.
• We stopped at Mark’s Work Wearhouse to buy a new belt for me. Found a good belt, but the line at the cash register was 8 people deep, and there seemed little hope in getting out in less than 20 minutes, so I dumped the belt and resolved to shop for one in the quieter climes of downtown Charlottetown.
• With the Christmas play only a week away, Oliver is managing a pretty decent rendition of “We Three Kings.” Although it comes out a little bit like “We three kinds of Orient Car.”

More from the frontier next week.
