Band on the Run: Farewell from New York's Chinatown {Gadling}
Oct 18th 2007 7:47AM Wow, cool new look, Gadling!! :-D
You know, Ember, I still check this site every day in hopes that there will be a new post from you. Even though there hasn't been, I usually end up checking some of the "most commented on" posts, so not all is lost. So you're still good for Gadling traffic, LOL!
So, tell us, now that you're back in China... any chance you might start a new blog?
Keep us posted! (Get it? Posted? *cue groans*)

Sep 21st 2007 4:58PM A beautiful last post, Ember! Thank you. It was indeed a perfect "loop" post.
I'm glad you got to share this experience with your sweetie. :-)

Band on the Run: The Defiant Nature of Rte 4, Fort Lee, NJ {Gadling}

Sep 20th 2007 8:10AM How ironic that the comments before me (apparently random advertising posts) are for weed-killers, when actually the nature ('scuse the pun) of your post is that you saw the "invasion of weeds" beautiful. :-b
I find the last few (7) lines of your post really beautiful. I'm having a hard time seeing the spot as beautiful, though (although I do see beauty in the "process").
Band on the Run: It's Not All Bluegrass in Floyd, VA {Gadling}
Sep 17th 2007 7:59PM I'm going to miss your blog posts, Ember. They were so colorful and informative, and they allowed us to follow you trough your many travels.
I really hope you can blog about your return to China; if not here, then elsewhere. Your friends, fans and family (the 3Fs?) would surely be grateful for it.
Congrats on another great series!

Band on the Run: Kitschy, Classy Drake Hotel is Toronto Arts Beacon {Gadling}
Sep 12th 2007 8:28AM Hey, I like that new "Gallery" feature! Neat. And... that "Drake 4" picture? Freaky! I thought you'd taken a picture of a man taking a shower at first!!

Sep 12th 2007 8:12AM I think you can see my parents' farm land in the second pic! :-)
There's a lot of interesting stuff to see on Rigaud Mountain. First, there's the petrified potato field: "The mountain is also home to an unusual, natural rock garden known as the "champs de patates", so named because of the local legend that it was once a potato field, turned to stone by God because the farmer worked on Sunday." [that's a quote from Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigaud,_Quebec, actually.]
There's also a sanctuary where the sick are healed (similar to St-Joseph's Oratory in Montreal; crutches hung on the wall after the miracle healings are performed).
I think there really are healings that take place at that site. For example, I was permanently cured from teaching there, LOL! ;-)
