Cover Woman

I want to say cover girl, but when you hit your 30s, girl, boyfriend, and missionary are a few words that should be left behind. Anyway, here's the cover of The New Quarterly, Issue 98 (a.k.a the Nicole Dixon Issue).

Inside you can read 2 of my stories and an interview with yours truly. For more info, click this link: http://www.tnq.ca/magazine/

You can also check out issue 100, in which my defence of the short story is published: http://www.tnq.ca/magazine/back_issues/issue_100/

Thank you TNQ!

Welcome Back

Hello! How goes the world? Long time no blog, I know. I've been busy doing what Diz does best, teaching and writing. Wish it was writing and teaching. Priorities. Was away to Saskatchewan this past summer to write at a monastery:
am now away during the week in Pictou county to teach. Weekends only in Advocate - it's breaking my heart to be away so long from the blue house.

My cousin Carrie got married in September.

The Professor and I danced our butts off at the wedding.

I think if more people danced, the world would be happier and less uptight. Get on the dance floor, y'all!

My Drive In, May

What a difference 6 weeks makes.

Power Animals

Out in BC, a man set up a webcam (http://www.infotecbusinesssystems.com/wildlife/) of a nest of eagles. They've laid 2 eggs, and people can watch the eagles sit on their eggs. Doesn't sound too exciting, but for a few minutes here and there, it's pretty neat. I especially like it 'cause of the family resemblance....

The warm weather was just a tease.
