And Now For Something Completely Different ...

When you're a reporter on the road, you always hope to squeeze in a bit of sightseeing time in the places you're fortunate to visit.
Which is why it's especially fun when you hit a spot like Halifax — it may just be my favourite Canadian city outside of the one I live in. Love the people, love the nightlife (at least the part I get to sample in the downtown core), love the scenery.
On, and speaking of scenery ... had to chuckle when I saw this little item at a downtown newsstand: The Nova Scotia University Girls Calendar, with the subhead '12 reasons to go to university in Nova Scotia.' Call it their version of a Sunshine Girl Calendar (there's no Sun newspaper out here, by the way).
And I'm betting that the high school lads back where I'm from might well decide Saint Mary's, Dalhousie, Acadia, St. FX, etc., just could be the place to continue their education if they catch a glimpse of this — ahem — recruiting brochure.
More info at http://www.universitygirlscalendar.com if you want to 'judge' for yourself.
And now we return to you to our regularly scheduled figure skating programming ...
