Welcome to the Clare Family Blog

A little experiment.
Anyone in our extended family should feel free to join in: post your news, share your thoughts, tell us all what we're missing by not being you -- the song's you're singing, the people you've met, the places you've been, the books you've read. The many things that are making you happy right now, and occasionally the smaller things that make you feel blue.
Write once a week, once a month, or once a year.
In this way too this form is democratic: if people write it works, and if they don't it doesn't. Either way it's all good.

Clare Family Blog FAQ
Q. Do I need to be a Clare family member to share in this little enterprise?
A. No. When we say "extended", we mean ultra-elastic . To the companion of the progeny of the last lost third cousin twice removed: welcome.

Q. Do I need to be a Maritimer?
A. A harder question. Can we put it this way? You may not be a Maritimer, nor want to be one, but it will help if you have a sympathetic understanding of the unique charm that we bring to the planet.

Q. But suppose I pine for the Jays or the Leafs?
A. Even then we embrace you, though like life it's not always going to be easy.

Q. Do I need to be able to write?
A. No, but it always helps if you try to spell.

Q. What can't I write about?
A. Nothing. Conversely, you also can write about nothing.
