I was out on some errands when who should I run into but my old friends Kevin and Marushka who moved out of the neighbourhood a few months ago. They were playing at being tourists on the street they know as well as I do. The good news is: as long as their fortunes continue to improve they will move back here in the fall. But it's a yin-yang world, isn't it? My old pal Gerry moved back downtown a few weeks ago. He says he was "tired of all the squeaky-clean white people walking their dogs and pushing their baby-carriages." And so it goes.

Glad your ran into them. Did they have to move away because their fortunes were NOT improving? I hope they are back soon. And good one, Gerry.
I miss access to that lovely kiwiesque clip.
There were different reasons for the move, but $ was one big reason.
I liked the clip too but I don't want it to be a blog of pics of me, movies of me, blah, blah. I got the camera working so I went a little crazy with it for a while.
Hey, I'm "friends" with Tim now!
pics of alfie! movies of alfie!
I'm afraid I'm one of those people Gerry moved away from, just in a different city.
Yes, I saw you on there and said, Hey, that's Deloney! As he only KNEW you by Deloney, he needed the prompt.
