Scrabulicious

My good friend Ruth was down for a visit last week, and we played four games of Scrabble. As Ruth is the best Scrabble player I have ever played with the fact that I won two of the games was particularly significant.

I showed her suburban activist, and she questioned why anyone would want to read about the suburbs.

Hmmm.... I thought.... and agreed.... relevant insight. A suburban neighbourhood, however pleasant, and close to a bus line, and a large wooded area, and a nice downtown of a nice little town, is somewhat dull. Not many may be interested in the lawn mowing practices of my neighbours.

Hence, while I continue with the title Suburban Activist, I am going to broaden the scope to, really, anything that I am interested in or doing. These topics include: movies, reading, relationships, environmental issues, walking, hiking, activism, life in general, living in a suburban neighbourhood, religion, politics, photography, and, of course, children and the education system.

I have much time to sit around and nurse a lovely little baby boy. When I was last on maternity leave, I played Scrabulous on facebook, and was sort of obsessed with it for a period of time. (I was somewhat successful with improving my Scrabble game, as is evidenced by my Scrabble tie with the aforementioned Scrabble master). The third, and final, time around I will be, among other things, updating this blog.
