Back to making fun of Canada

Welcome to Dildo, Newfoundland and Labrador.

From Wikipedia:

Dildo has a fast-growing tourist industry. Dildo offers picturesque scenery, several bed and breakfasts, eating establishments, the Dildo Museum interpretive centre, the Historic Dildo Days celebration in August, boat tours, the Society of United Fishermen, the Lions centre, several heritage structures, walking trails, many businesses and, of course, the road sign souvenirs.

Dildo won the Harrowsmith Magazine Award in 2001 as one of the ten prettiest small towns in Canada.

Dildo has also been featured on CBC's On the Road Again and Land and Sea as well as a live radio broadcast from the interpretation centre.

In August of 2006, Dildo was also the subject of the "What the...?" segment on the Australian television talk show Rove Live.

Dildo has its own television station, Channel Six.

The town is also mentioned in the song "A Night in Dildo" by The Arrogant Worms

Alive

Yes, I am still alive, amazingly. Since my last post, I have undergone two major operations. I am recovering from the second one, a liver surgery, now. Mother went home today after spending three weeks here in Toronto helping to take care of me. So, I am basically back in one piece and I will start chemo in three weeks. I hope that in four months, this will all be behind me.

Also, I am very pleased Sen. Obama won the presidency and that the Democrats have greater control of Congress. I hope there will be some health care reform so that I will be able to return to the US and get coverage, since I will need tests for the rest of my life. It is frightening to have your life turned over at the age of 32, but the prospect of never being able to afford to return to the US was terrifying.
