And so it was 10 plus years ago at Trout Point Lodge….

For my part I deem those blessed to whom, by favour of the gods, it has been granted either to do what is worth writing of, or to write what is worth reading; above measure blessed those on whom both gifts have been conferred. In the latter number will be my uncle, by virtue of … Continue reading “And so it was 10 plus years ago at Trout Point Lodge….”

Poor Roy D’Aquila got butterflies on his tummy tum tum when he saw Val Bracy’s reports on the Trout Point Development

And I verily bet poor ol’ Roy crapped his pants when he saw the other media reports on the Broussard curatorships considering he was telling Charlie and Vaughn, on Broussard’s behalf, to put Riverbend on the Lodge’s main insurance policy. Of course you say that and they will sue. And this fixation they have with Anne Marie Vandenweghe is unhealthy IMHO.  … Continue reading “Poor Roy D’Aquila got butterflies on his tummy tum tum when he saw Val Bracy’s reports on the Trout Point Development”

I reckon its all in how you look at it……

In these past 6 weeks we’ve seen the heavily laden freight train finally leave the station and as that baby builds up speed it also builds up what an old stock basher like me would call “Mo”. In the financial markets the Mo is self sustaining to a point and the same is true in criminal investigations such as … Continue reading “I reckon its all in how you look at it……”

Its the Slabbed question of the day……????

Why would Shane D’Antoni aka Shane Gates drive crawfish all the way from Louisiana to Nova Scotia on occasion?  I have a friend in DC (Louisiana expat) that works a very large non-profit crawfish boil every year up there.  They fly their fresh Louisiana crawfish to DC.
