Last night, when I couldn’t sleep, I tweeted something to see on Twitter and got this here information back:
There may be nothing to see there but there is something to see here, thanks to all the great experiences I’m having with my son Aaron and my sister-in-law Deborah in Nova Scotia.
See Aaron pose for his student ID card for Dalhousie University. See us on our first night in Halifax. See an interesting street sign in the North End of Halifax See various cat sighting throughout the day. See our first Poutine, which was vegan!See the wonderful hand-made Whim chocolates at Frabjous Delights, created by Inge, Marshall (not seen) and their son Christian, who recently moved here from Boston!See the directions on how to walk from our hotel to Dalhousie University, where Aaron will be starting a PhD program in mathematics next week. See the Public Gardens, which looked lovely even in the rain! See some posters that reminded us of the Edinburgh Fringe, which inspired me to discover that Halifax has a Fringe Festival at the end of summer, too!See one of the many signs that indicated to me that Halifax is a fine place for my son to be. See our first experiences of Dalhousie University and the mathematics department. See one of my favorite photos from that bunch. See another one. See a new way to describe a law office. See the best baklava I’ve ever had. See the question I asked last night on Twitter. See one of the great answers I got. See the World Observances and Daily Holidays for today, August 27, 2023.

There is always something to see here at the end of each blog post — gratitude for all my readers, including YOU!
Thank you for bringing my dear wife Karen and I back to recollections of our wonderful walks around Halifax with your outstanding photos today, Ann. We recognize streets and the Public Garden!
Halifax: the end of Canada I never reached. I wish Aaron all the best in his mathemaquizzical studies, and hope that I get some similar pictures of my grand nephew Leo beginning his undergraduate years at the University of Wisconsin. He does, however, have some other possibles in the offing, sadly none of them in Halifax.
I hope that Aaron has a wonderful time in the mathematics program. The world definitely needs more math!
I have never had poutine although I grew up in Quebec. And although I am vegetarian,I have never had vegan poutine. I kind of wonder what (the heck) was in it?🙂
Looks like a wonderful introduction to a great academic year. I think it’s a very positive sign that Halifax also has a Fringe Festival. I’m thinking it won’t take you long to find a way to participate?
I think “find X”, the pencil sharpener and housing is a human right are my favorites
It’s so great to see you here!
thanks Ann I enjoyed the post!
What a fun blog. Loved spending the day with your son and you.
So wonderful to see you here!
glad you’re having a wonderful time of it and best of luck to Aaron! I love the coffee and popsicles note on the sidewalk
I loved that too, beth! 💕

Potatoes, veggie cheese, and vegetarian gravy. The world definitely needs more comments from you, Maureen!

Looks like you know me well, Debra — I’m already looking into appearing in the Halifax Fringe 2024.
