Well it looks like Bloggers spam bots have deemed my blog spam... this makes me sad. I don't know how to fix it and I keep hitting the button to send them a note verifying my blog but as of yet no one has replied and I still have the message that my blog may be taken down in 20 days. So I'm going to try to get the posts from last year caught up and throw up the ones from this year... sorry if this gets really fractured in the meantime, I'll try to keep it in some sembalance of order but just fyi the posts from Nov 6 2007 til now may be disjointed. I'll erase this when I'm all caught up and have them in order and post a new post saying I'm caught up. :-)
Thanks guys!

but this one:
A Canadian tradition on New Years Day:
"Today, levées are the receptions (usually, but not necessarily, on New Year's Day) held by the governor general, the lieutenant governors of the provinces, the military and others, to mark the start of another year and to provide an opportunity for the public to pay their respects.
Most levées may be attended by any citizen, including children.[2][3] Attending the lieutenant governor's levée is an annual ritual for some families.
Today the levée has evolved from the earlier, more boisterous party into a more sedate and informal one. It is an occasion to call upon representatives of the monarch, military and municipal governments and to exchange New Year's greetings and best wishes for the new year, to renew old acquaintances and to meet new friends. It is also an opportunity to reflect upon the events of the past year and to welcome the opportunities of the New Year."
