And it even has pillows!

Home is where you feel safe, comfortable and welcome.

Yeah, we feel very much at home with our old friends at A Creative Revolution. Who wouldn't?

So, bookmark this. We may live in the swamp but even a proud rodent loves a comfy place to call home.

Please ... no. I'll do breakfast. Would you like Birch or Alder with your eggs?

Thank you, Pale.

As good an economist as Harper ever will be

Journalist, Christina Montgomery has a new blog. As she opens the drawer who should pop out but Leonard Cohen.

And while the title is Pay Day, you have to check out the URL to get the real feel.

This is going to be good.

Welcome back!

Back in the day, Tattered Sleeve was the first blog ever on TGB's brand-new, shiny blogroll. And he's back!

Welcome back Scott in Montreal. And, Sir, assume your former spot. First among equals.

Changing formation

If you come here via Progressive Bloggers, you will have to find a different route. I will apologize now to any readers to whom that causes inconvenience.

I have asked the site administrator at that aggregator to remove The Galloping Beaver from the blogroll there.

If you have a burning desire to remain connected with TGB on a common list, be aware that we have a long blogroll and I am prepared to add to it. The current roll rotates with the latest post of listed blogs moving to the top. Or, you can follow us on Twitter. I will be adding a quick click link in the right sidebar in the coming days.

Since this can never be done without at least a touch of an explanation, I'll put it this way:

Not to spend more time with the family;
No one has a new baby;
Pursuing other interests is not a factor;
We're not doing it for health reasons.

We were simply not a good fit anymore. Time to get on a different numbered bus.

Putting our space where our big mouth is....

Let's make this a regular event. Blog awards are really cool if you're one of the new kids on the scene. They can give you exposure you might not otherwise be able to gather in.

Hell, I did it. Vanity may be some kind of Christian sin, but it is pretty human. Most of us don't do this for money so there has to be some kind of reward. Most of us are pretty happy with an increased traffic count.

If I write, it would be nice if I'm not writing to myself and yelling at a mirror.

A lot of you are writing some pretty fine stuff. And not getting enough notice for it.

If somebody wants to manufacture an award program, that's just dandy. Personally, I know that most of us don't seek an award. We'd just like to have our views, ideas and reach as many interested readers as possible.

So, tell us what you've got. As I told Simon, I'd much rather open this small place to a larger audience and be able to add you to our blogroll.

So put your latest, your best, your favourite into comments with a link.

The best way to find you is if you give us a marker. Go for it.

There will be boots... and Sunday morning cartoons!

Look to the right sidebar. Note the new addition to the Ink Stained Wretches. For those who welcomed psa with the question, "Where's LuLu?", well there ya go. She was simply shining her boots.

Thumps on the table! LuLu has joined the crew.
