Tomorrow I will be posting a story that was written by my brother Gerard. Many years ago he was a family physician in Sydney, Nova Scotia and was living in Marion Bridge. He decided to try his hand as a “gentleman farmer”, specifically, raising meat chickens. This is a hilarious story about his attempt at butchering the fattened flock. This is posted with his permission.

I have officially started the book project with October as the target date for publication. I am starting to think about possible titles. If you have something imaginative, please send it along. If I decide to use it ( with your permission , of course ), maybe I will award the winner with a prize , like some beans from our garden!

Is it just me or is time speeding up? It used to be that Thursdays came around quickly, signalling the arrival of the weekend. Now it seems that once Tuesday has come and gone, the week is shot.

Stay tuned. “The Butcher of Marion Bridge” is coming at you tomorrow.
