CANTERBURY

What is leaving to pass next? If this is the `one magnitude less` aftershock that we were told to look after the Sep 4th 7.1 magnitude earthquake, then (even though this one was 6.3 not 6.1) perhaps that entire saga is approaching to an end?

That 5 a.m. alarm came way too soon today. But somehow, Carter and I got out the threshold by 5:30 so he could be at school by 5:45 and off to Marshfield shortly thereafter for the district Solo & Ensemble Competition.I didn't even care how tired I was, I was hardly grateful to see the broad moon and open sky - no fog!On the way into town I asked Carter if he was uneasy at all.

Knitting For Baby: The Pattern List, Part One - minimalist knitter

Thanks to so many of you who have sent me heart-felt congrats on our little monster! Many of you asked to break my baby knitting as I end up projects, and so I've had to know that I haven't been doing any baby knitting yet. Not a single stitch!

At first I thinking I wanted to hold until we knew if it's a boy or a girl, but the more I've thought about it, the more I mean I was holding off until at least the first trimester was done, waiting for it to get a bit more real.

This Valentine's Day, Swedish pop singer Robyn played a sold out show at Uptown's Riviera Theatre. She was originally scheduled to do last Friday, but the book had to be rescheduled due to an illness. Opening for her were two performers I wasn't familiar with: Natalia Kills and Diamond Rings.

This Valentine's Day, Swedish pop singer Robyn played a sold out show at Uptown's Riviera Theatre. She was originally scheduled to do last Friday, but the record had to be rescheduled due to an illness. Opening for her were two performers I wasn't familiar with: Natalia Kills and Diamond Rings. This was my first time going to the Riv and I was agreeably surprised.

Review: Wild Man Creek by Robyn Carr

Colin Riordan came to Virgin River to recover from a horrific helicopter crash, the scars of which he bears inside and out. His house is wonderfully supportive, but it's his art that truly soothes his troubled soul. Stung personally and professionally by an ill-advised affair, PR guru Jillian Matlock has rented an old Victorian with a promising garden in Virgin River.

Yoga-centric Post

A pair of posts ago, I mentioned that there has been a bit of a hoo-ha in the yoga world around an article in the NY Times about a woman who open a yoga studio in Manhattan.Big news, right?I guess she gets a NY Times article because she is a late model and the soul behind "Slim, Calm, Sexy Yoga".And who doesn't need to say about former models who promote being slim, calm and sexy?

Robyn Music Information: Review: Dancing Jax by Robin Jarvis

At the end of a track, on the outskirts of an ordinary coastal town, lies a dilapidated house. Once, a group of amateur ghost hunters spent the night there. Two of them don`t like to speak about the experience. The third can`t talk around it. He went into the basement, you see, and later he screamed so hard and so long he tore his vocal cords.
