Remember the Caption Contest from the Feb. 28 posting? The winner is Dianne Jackson of Peterborough Ontario! Dianne's most memorable caption was for the guy with the big hose between his legs (Ed. Note: This is a family blog, her caption can't be repeated here.). For her prize, Dianne got to name this blog posting, and she specified "Busy, eh?". Canadians will recognize the ending of that phrase. But what the heck does "busy" mean? We hope it refers to people going about their lives and doing their jobs as most do everywhere.
We have encountered "busy, eh?" at all levels here. There are professionals in all fields, from doctors to sports heroes to glossy TV anchors to teachers, etc. But we've all had a first job, a summer job for money, or some starting point in a career. Those might be the best examples of "Busy, eh?"
How about selling maps at stop lights? Serving meals from the back of your pickup? Manual labour at a construction site? Raking sea grass? Squeegee anybody? What was YOUR first "busy, eh"?
