The Protector of the Unknown Group: Scotland Posts: 3,316 Joined: 20-Oct-2003 Zodiac: Hazel Realm: Guysborough Co., Nova Scotia	Farewell to Alberta Farewell to ol' Alberta, you oil soaked dirt Let your mountains tall and rocky be For when I am far away by the brimy ocean tanned Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? The sun was setting in the west The birds were singing on the last few trees All nature seemed inclined for to rest But still there was no rest for me I grieve to leave this money makin' land I grieve to leave my comrades all With no parents 'round, whom I held so dear And no bonny, bonny lassie that I love so well The Jeep packed up and the tail pipe sings My wife she calls, I must obey So farewell, farewell to 'ol Alberta's charm For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away I have two brothers and they never rest One lucky he never need drive here But a poor and simple drafter just like me Must run far away just to view the pure blue sea Ok, that's about all the shanty tunes you guys can handle. Anyway, I'm off. Yes, I'm finally moving home to Nova Scotia. A few of you know that Ange and Coira are already there, so they'll be my light at the end of the tunnel. Today is my last day of work, and until I'm situated back east, I won't be getting online. Saturday we start driving, and hopefully we'll be there by Friday. So I'll catch you guys on the flipside. -------------------- Caw "I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic." -Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture) We need more Stan Rogers. jams

Best of luck. -------------------- Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress? -LLP

(Maybe that's just an old New Englander with Acadian roots talking.) Yes, it is a lovely time to be coming home to the sea. I wish you all much joy of it.
