Prairie Theatre Exchange fonds
[ca. 1896], 1962 - 2001
A1992-030:
At this point the collection's records are largely limited to the theatre seasons from 1973-1974 to 1981-1982. This period includes the eight seasons during which the organization was known as the Manitoba Theatre Workshop and its first season operating as the Prairie Theatre Exchange.
The administrative and production files have been grouped together by season. In certain cases, events that generated a number of files were given their own separate series. These include the 1977 Summer Theatre Project, the 1979 Playwright Search and the 1980 and 1981 Drama Festivals.
The files in the seasonal series document the various activities undertaken by the Manitoba Theatre Workshop, including its theatre classes, educational outreach programmes, school tours, TV productions and the provincial drama festivals. Most of the seasonal series also contain files of press releases and press clippings as well as other promotional material. The many files dealing with grant applications and various aspects of fundraising are evidence of the Workshop's constant struggle to stay afloat financially.
Production files dealing with individual shows are arranged chronologically at the end of each seasonal series. These files contain equity contracts, production and rehearsal schedules, correspondence, programs, promotional material and, in some cases, the script. Most of the major productions produced or hosted by MTW/PTE during its first nine years of existence are represented but the holdings are not exhaustive. For a complete list of productions, the researcher is advised to consult Peter Spencer's 1983 thesis "The History and Contribution of the Manitoba Theatre Workshop/Prairie Theatre Exchange".
Miscellaneous and cumulative files that could not easily be placed into a seasonal series are grouped together near the end. The final series is a collection of scripts representing the productions staged by Prairie Theatre Exchange. The title "script" is somewhat misleading since most of these files also contain programs, rehearsal schedules, production notes, blocking diagrams and other related documents. The scripts themselves are usually extensively annotated.
The collection includes records of the Prairie Theatre Exchange (known as the Manitoba Theatre Workshop until 1981) encompassing theatre seasons from 1973 to 2001, particularly those of the 1980s and early 1990s. Included are administrative papers, such as minutes, correspondence, legal and financial records, as well as publicity material, newspaper articles, show programs and posters, production scripts, notes, schedules, plans, drawings and set designs. The photograph collection consists of 91 photographs, 3 contact sheets, 1 slide, and 43 negative strips. The tape collection consists of 14 audio tapes. The electronic media series consists of 10 computer diskettes.
Administrative and production files have been grouped together by season. These files document the various activities undertaken by PTE/MTW, including its theatre classes, educational outreach programmes and school tours. Most of the seasonal series contain files of Board of Directors minutes, correspondence, finances, press releases and press clippings as well as other promotional material. Production files dealing with the season's shows (mainstage and touring productions) are arranged chronologically at the end of each seasonal series. Records in these files include programs, schedules, promotional material and reviews.
Miscellaneous and cumulative files that could not easily be placed into a seasonal series are grouped together. These include files which continunue over multiple seasons, regarding PTE/MTW buildings, tours and activities, as well as reference materials and a large group of subject-files (accumulated by PTE) regarding the organization's "early history".
The third series consists of records from the prompt books of PTE's Stage Managers (and sometimes Assistant Stage Managers). These contain rehearsal schedules, production notes, blocking diagrams and annotated scripts, show reports, tour itineraries, notes regarding set, costume, sound and lighting cues, as well as other related documents.
Fred and Kay Kuzyk fonds
The collection consists of a relatively small selection of documents (biographical sketches, birth certificates, school transcripts, memorabilia, correspondence, certificates of recognition, newspaper clippings, concert and cultural event programs) and a very large number of photographs, slides, photo negatives and audio-visual materials. All of the materials document, in great detail, the private lives of Fred and Kay and their children and grandchildren, as well as Fred's and Kay's involvement in various community organizations, in particular Fred's involvement with the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Engineering Class of '46 Reunions, and Kay's participation in Winnipeg's O. Koshetz Choir. The photographs record Fred's and Kay's lives from childhood and adolescence, in the 1920s and 1930s, to old age during the 2000s and document virtually all of their private and community activities.

CA UMASC MSS 53 (A1982-028)
The scope and content of this collection is best described in the appraisal report of the National Archival Appraisal Board, dated January 20, 1983. The following is a quotation from that report:
"This collection will be of particular value to anyone studying social, political, land economic conditions in Winnipeg, especially from the mid-twenties to the mid-forties. In addition to chronicling events in that city, the papers trace the activities of prominent community leaders and the various associations of which Speechly was an active member. The unpublished autobiography provides a detailed account of the life and career of an active and vigorous civic leader.
The papers include correspondence, photographs, published articles, notes, pamphlets, and memorabilia and an unpublished autobiography of a prominent Winnipeg doctor over a period of almost four decades (1925-1961). The 1,329 letters to his daughter (Margaret Stansfield) written between 1925 and 1943, provide an interesting and relatively detailed chronicle of events and prominent people in Winnipeg. The collection is in excellent physical condition and occupies 75 cm."

Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg hardly uses his own site to make announcements, at least not as much as most of us. But the few times he does, it usually makes the news. The young billionaire announced that he had gotten married in a private ceremony some months ago on Facebook by simply changing his status from Single to Married. And today, he announced on his wall that the social networking site has hit a total of one billion users using it actively each month. This means 1/7th of the world's population uses Facebook.
The message already has over 400,000 likes. He wrote this on his wall: "This morning, there are more than one billion people using Facebook actively each month. If you're reading this: thank you for giving me and my little team the honor of serving you. Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life. I am committed to working every day to make Facebook better for you, and hopefully together one day we will be able to connect the rest of the world too." This announcement is coming a few days after he granted his first television interview since the social network's IPO to Today's Matt Lauer. I remember reading the story on Daily Mail and smiling in admiration of the young billionaire's humility. He revealed that he owns multiple t-shirts of the same color so he doesn't have to worry about what to wear. This makes him seem like he's wearing the same shirt almost everyday. He even wore that same shirt during the interview. "I mean, I wear the same thing every day, right?" said Zuckerberg. Asked by Lauer if he owns 12 of the same gray t-shirt, Zuckerberg admitted it was more like 20. He revealed that he doesn't get much closet space at home, which is mainly used by wife Priscilla Chan, but instead, his identical t-shirt collection lives in the one drawer that he gets to use. "Like men everywhere," said one of the world's youngest billionaires. Some time ago, he created quite a buzz when he wore a pair of blue jeans to a friend's wedding. Here are some few times he has been caught wearing the same grey shirt. Zuckerberg is also well known with hoodies. He has been seen wearing those more than a few times but he didn't say how many he owns during the interview. However, he revealed that Apple's Tim Cook sent him an iPhone 5. A few hours ago, he announced on his wall that Facebook had made a video to illustrate how over a billion people around the world use it to connect with one another. "For the first time in our history, we've made a brand new video to express what our place is on this earth." Check on it!

So ladies, you claim to love his humility. Will you marry a naija man (in Nigeria) who wears the same type of t-shirt everyday?
LOL! You are wicked! Only if he were rich enough in that eccentric kind of 2 dollar t shirt with 400 dollar shoes kind of way…and it wasn't an act. Otherwise…to the left , to the left
@ajiriavae
If not spending his money on looking good is his thing, then good for him. But let's not make it seen like it is wrong for a man/ woman who has worked hard to build a business/ their finances to want to use the proceeds to live well. Just be true to yourself. if you don't want to draw attention to your person, good for you. If you do and like to bling, good for you, too.

Wearing the "same" shirt everyday takes away the need to ever think about what to wear. This way, he gets to dress up MUCH FASTER and get back to work! Nice strategy. Me too will charter a collection of black tuxedos. At least, every morning I won't have to bother about what to wear!!

Analysis, Top Story
New Figures Argue Democrats Should Target College Graduates in Suburbs
Hillary Clinton got more support from white college graduates than we knew.
Nick Ottens September 1, 2018 September 29, 2020
Aerial view of a suburb of Austin, Texas (Shutterstock/Roschetzky Photography)
Amy Walter reports for The Cook Political Report that a Pew Research assessment of the 2016 electorate belies some of the insights we thought we had gleaned from that year's exit polls:
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump didn't actually split the white college-educated vote. Clinton bested Trump by 17 points.
They did split the white women's vote, 45-47 percent. Exit polls suggested Trump was more popular with white women.
The exit polls probably overestimated the electorate's share of white college graduates.
The revised figures argue that Trump hasn't lost support from college-educated whites and white women. Fewer supported him to begin with.
The exit polls and Pew's data do agree that Trump has lost support from white voters without a college degree: from 66-64 to 57 percent.
Don't overlook religion
Walter cites Mike Podhorzer, the political director of the trade union federation AFL-CIO, who argues that the fault line is not education but religion:
For example, among white evangelicals, college-educated men and non-college educated men give Trump equally impressive job approval ratings (78 percent and 80 percent respectively). But, among white men who aren't evangelical, the education gap is significant.
Podhorzer's takes:
Stop assuming that all white, non-college voters are core Trump supporters. His base is evangelical white voters, regardless of education.
White, non-evangelical, non-college-educated women are the ultimate swing voters.
The caveat here is that "evangelical" is often more an identity marker than proof of religiosity. Many self-described evangelics are unperturbed by revelations about Trump's infidelity when they were up in arms about Bill Clinton's.
Education isn't a perfect predictor of voting behavior either, but combine it with age, geography, race and religion and you get a better picture. A Democrat is likely to be college-educated, young, urban, multicultural and either secular or from a minority religion; a Republican has probably not graduated from college and is likely to be older, rural, white and Christian.
These two coalitions are more or less evenly matched. The Republicans have an advantage in national elections, because the electoral map gives relatively more power to lightly populated areas. But Democrats have won the popular vote in the last six out of seven presidential elections.
Swingers in the suburbs
So who decides elections? Mostly suburban voters, especially women and especially those living in prosperous Sun Belt states. (Read Ronald Brownstein's latest in The Atlantic for more on that topic. And allow me to point out that I argued right after the 2016 election that, despite all the attention for the white working class, it were middle-income Americans in the suburbs of Florida, North Carolina and Virginia who had quietly decided the outcome.)
2016 American presidential election results. States where the margin of victory was under 10 percent are highlighted.
The Economist reports that educated white voters in suburbia could have an outsized influence on the midterm congressional elections this year:
Because Democrats already have the vast majority of urban districts and Republicans a similar share of rural ones, those that will decide control of the House of Representatives are primarily suburban. And the suburbs happen to be precisely where white college graduates tend to congregate: in the 38 districts currently rated by The Cook Political Report as either "tossups" or merely "leaning" toward one party or the other, an average of 28 percent of over-25s are white and have a college degree, compared with 22 percent in all other races.
What about the white working class?
The Economist warns that Democrats cannot win with college graduates and minority voters alone and must still find a way to appeal to the white working class.
This is not impossible. Trump is breaking his promises to farmers and blue-collar voters in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Republican health-care reforms aren't "taking care of everybody". Trump's policy for the opioid epidemic is destroying lives. His tariffs may temporarily arrest job losses in manufacturing, but they come at the expense of farm exports and low-paid jobs in services.
That is why, as mentioned in the beginning, the president has been losing support from non-college-educated whites.
The trouble is that those voters who remain loyal to Trump aren't swayed by economic arguments. I've argued before that, for them, it's not the economy, stupid! These are Americans who are afraid of losing cultural and political power — and they understand that is exactly what the Democrats are trying to achieve.
The Democratic Party is for empowering women and minorities and against laws that make it harder for blacks and Hispanics to vote. Compromising on those issues in order to woo whites who feel left behind risks depressing the Democratic base.
The Democrats' dilemma not unique. Social democrats in Canada and Europe are also torn between deemphasizing progressive social policies in order to win back working-class voters and siding with the socially progressive middle class.
The parable isn't perfect. The big divisive cultural issue in Europe is immigration. In the United States, it's race relations and changing social norms.
But that makes a strategy of accommodation with the Trumpenproletariat even less attractive to the American left. It would mean repudiating causes like Black Lives Matter and transgender rights because they offend Trump voters' desire for social order.
Lukewarm center-right
Better to focus on suburbanites who once voted Republican but are now disgusted by Trump.
Trump's presidency is pushing Democrats into defending diversity and internationalism, causes that galvanize minorities and liberal college graduates but leave center-right voters lukewarm. Many of these voters are, however, increasingly relaxed about liberal social norms and more supportive of immigration and America's alliances than Trump.
As recently as 2012, Mitt Romney won white college graduates by 14 points. If Pew's figures are correct, the 2016 election saw a 31-point swing to the Democrats. Add to that the fact that the number of college graduates is rising, and the white working class is in decline, and it seems obvious to me where Democrats should look for more voters.

Nipsey Hussle was a Grammy-nominated rapper who served as an inspiration to other great musicians and athletes. At the time of his death he was working on a documentary following the life of Dr. Sebi—real name—Alfredo Darrington Bowman, and his alleged cures for cancer and AIDS. That documentary may never come to light now, because on March 31, 2019, Hussle was murdered in broad daylight outside of his clothing shop in Los Angeles.
Sadly, this protection did not work.
According to the Root, On May 28, 2016, Dr. Sebi was arrested at Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport in Honduras for carrying some $37,000 in cash. He was released pending a court hearing, only to be rearrested June 3 by the Ministerio Público, Honduras' version of the FBI, and charged with money laundering. Dr. Sebi remained in custody until Aug. 6, when he was rushed to a local hospital reportedly suffering from complications of pneumonia. Dr. Sebi died en route. He was 82.


I can't believe I got it! I am walking for Converse. My literal thoughts once I received that email from a member of the Production company TESstylists. So surreal and exciting and mortifying all at the same time. I couldn't help but feel like wow I'm here and yet so scare to mess up and not be great enough to stand out and maybe get a bit further; but I did. The show was for the company itself and for the collect set to be released in 2015. YES I GOT TO WEAR SS15 of Converse. Did I mention it was CONVERSE? I mean I went to school across the street from the owners house or summer house my entire high school life. It was cool but now I've worked with the company and I mean come on everyone wears chucks theses days anyway!!! its a holy grail staple piece to both male and females across the world and I little ol' me walked in a show for the Companies big guns today. It was quick and no pictures so all I got was a snap shot of me and a fellow Maldonian backstage. Even so the felling is indescribable. I got lots of info from other models that were signed and spoke to a few scouts also. Who knows maybe I will be in the adds soon.


Another day, another Lily Allen rant on Twitter. The 24-year-old singer decided to blow off some steam last night via the popular micro-blogging site launching a foulmouthed attack on the paparazzi claiming they've ruined her chances of going on Safari.
"Safari is something I've always wanted to do. Don't think I'll sleep tonight," Allen wrote. "I already feel guilty about exploiting the animals with my camera, I've got a big long lenz, reminds me of some c***s I know."
The tweets continued: "There is a difference between a modern day celeb and someone who writes and sings songs. I don't wanna be a celeb. [The paparazzi] are not nice people, they try and get a reaction, so they get good pics. I'd be happy if they went away."
Lily went on to claim that she could still be successful singer without the attention of the paps: "My point was, I'm pretty sure that my music is what got people talking, I'm confident I could sustain a singing career without the paparazzis (sic)."

Greece's Pandemic Worsens, Dispute Over Autumn Immunity Target
Increased tourist movement in Monastiraki. (YANNIS PANAGOPOULOS/ EUROKINISSI)
ATHENS – Vaccinations won't be made mandatory in Greece even though COVID-19 is resurging, but differences have arisen over whether enough people will be inoculated by the autumn to slow the pandemic or whether it will get worse.
Minister of State Akis Skertsos said he believes there will be a 70 percent full vaccination rate by then – it's 61 percent now but has slowed – and that the pandemic will begin to be cut back.
But Matina Pagoni, President of the Athens-Piraeus hospital doctors union, said since the pandemic rose during warmer weather, when it was supposed to have slowed, that it will jump even more when the cold weather comes and coincides with the flu season.
In an article in the newspaper Ta Nea, Skertsos also said that health restrictions imposed on the unvaccinated aren't a punishment but a persuasion technique to convince them to get the shots, which hasn't worked yet.
"If we had managed to vaccinate the entire population of the country, we would now have just 50 cases intubated in hospitals throughout the country instead of 332. We would, in other words, have converted the pandemic into a severe flu that primarily poses a threat to those suffering from other underlying diseases and that does not have an unbearably high cost in human lives nor overburdens the health system," he said, reported the state-run Athens-Macedonia News Agency (ANA-MPA.)
He spoke as cases kept above the 3,000 daily mark – 10 times what it was earlier in the summer before tourists were admitted, health measures from an already lenient lockdown were eased, anti-vaxxers spread the virus and more people stopped wearing masks and staying away from each other.
Deaths are also creeping up as are the numbers of patients in critical conditions in public hospital Intensive Care Units (ICUs) that are more than two-thirds full and more being added daily.
Despite all that, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis – after saying he couldn't force health care workers to be vaccinated – finally gave that order after waiting months to do it.
He said he may make vaccines a requirement for all in the fall if the pandemic keeps going up and anti-vaxxers still refuse to get the shots, and as they are the main target of the Delta Variant from Indian now the dominant strain in Greece.
In an interview with TV station Open Sunday, Pagoni said with students returning to class, churches exempted from vaccination rules and public gatherings still going and people returning home from holidays who may be bringing the virus with them that prospects for a safe autumn aren't good.
added that the restart of schools and universities will increase mobility, and congregations, and urged that all returning holidaymakers who hve not already done so ve vaccinated.
And while the number of people on ventilators is less than half than during its peak, Pagoni said that the health system is already feeling the pressure.
Across the country, 68 percent of the emergency rooms dedicated to the pandemic are filled and in some local hospitals it is closer to 90 percent, said ANA-MPA.
That's because some emergency rooms used at the peak of hospitalizations have been repurposed to their earlier use, as hospitals also faced a backlog of untreated cases, including postponed surgeries, when they prioritized COVID-19 treatment.
Greek Catering Company Fined 50,000 Euros for Hosting COVID Party
ATHENS – A catering and entertainment company that wasn't named will be fined 50,000 euros ($56,694) for organizing a Coronavirus party in the country's capital that was attended by hundreds of high-paying guests, said Kathimerini.


You are looking at a rare medal instituted March 12, 1881 in memory of Alexander II. This Silver Medal was awarded to all individuals who were in the company of Emperor Alexander II during the attempt on his life March 1, 1881.
The obverse of the silver Medal bears the cipher of Tsar Alexander II topped by the Imperial crown. The reverse of the Medal is plain, except for the inscription signifying: "First of March 1881".

Meghan Markle faced 'very real & disgusting' threats to her life while living in Britain, ex counter terror chief says
MEGHAN Markle faced 'many credible threats' to her life while she lived in the UK, a former counter terrorism chief has revealed.
Neil Basu, who was the Met Police's Assistant Commissioner of Special Operations until last year, called the threats "disgusting" and "very real".
2The Duchess of Sussex received credible threats to her life while in BritainCredit: The Mega Agency
2Former counter terrorism chief Neil Basu was speaking to Channel 4 NewsCredit: Channel 4Mr Basu also told Channel 4 News that some of the people who had sent the threats had even been prosecuted.
Asked if the threats were credible, he said: "Absolutely, and if you'd seen the stuff that was written and you were receiving it… the kind of rhetoric that's online, if you don't know what I know, you would feel under threat all of the time."
He added: "We had teams investigating it. People have been prosecuted for those threats."
It comes at a time when scrutiny of Meghan and her husband Prince Harry is at an all-time high.
The couple are set to release a Netflix doc about their "love story" in just days, while the Prince's bombshell memoir will hit shelves in the new year.
The documentary will be released on December 8, while the book is scheduled for January 10.
The Sussexes have been slammed by royal insiders for the possible content of their projects, with suggestions that Harry's memoir was frantically toned down after the death of the Queen.
Likewise, they were said to be 'at loggerheads' with Netflix over their desire to delay the show's release into the new year.
Royal experts said the streaming giant denied their request for one key reason.
Royal biographer Angela Levin believes Netflix chose the date to make sure it gets better ratings.
Speaking to The Sun she revealed: "I suspect the date is what Netflix wanted. It's the timing Netflix wanted and needed.
"It may be because it will have allowed royal fans to have finished up watching The Crown."
In the wide-ranging interview, Mr Basu also detailed his experiences with racism within the police.
At one time Britain's most senior ethnic minority police officer, he said: "Are you alert to issues of racial and social justice? Yes I am.
"And if that is the definition of woke, I'll wear it as a bumper sticker every day of the week.
"And by the way, every serving police officer, let alone a Chief Constable, better believe that too."
Mr Basu has previously said that he believed the Met to be institutionally racist.

By systematic analysis of SNPs covering the entire genome, the Center for Genomic Medicine is investigating genes susceptible to various diseases, including atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, myocardial infarction, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, diabetic nephropathy, obesity, and Crohn's disease as well as genes related to responses to interferon treatment of hepatitis C infection. To date, we have identified genes involved in the onset of myocardial infarction, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, disc herniation, bronchial asthma and diabetic nephropathy.
The results of this research will be applied in the "personalized medicine", where an appropriate medication with the minimum risk of adverse reactions is provided to an individual patient. Furthermore, if we can isolate genes causative to various diseases whose etiology is unknown or little known, such information will be applied to the development of novel molecular-targeting drugs. Moreover, we hope to develop preventive techniques suitable for individuals, through a prior detection of a higher risk to certain diseases.
Our objective is to deepen our overall understanding of life by analyzing the vast quantities of data produced in the life sciences so as to promote information technology research strategically directed at making higher-order scientific discoveries. We will also work to pioneer the important future science of genome design, and build the bioinformatics infrastructure that is needed to resolve so many of humanity's problems.
A comprehensive analysis of the huge volume of newly produced data together with existing data will be essential for future life science research. The Bioinformatics And Systems Engineering division will organize existing and new data into a database which will be made available to the public for greater convenience of use and continuity. At the same time, we will carry out large-scale analysis of this vast data resource to elucidate biological functions, and pursue informatics research for genome design.
In July 2005, the Center for Molecular Imaging Science (CMIS) was selected as a research base for exploring new drug candidates as part of the Molecular Imaging Research Program launched by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), in an effort to promote research and development in the life sciences to respond to societal needs. As of October 1, 2008, the Center consists of five laboratories and two units which focus their research on 1) using a range of molecular imaging technology, in particular Positron Emission Tomography (PET), to evaluate newly developed molecular probes and their functions, and 2) developing new imaging techniques to analyze molecular dynamics, all with the aim to shorten the pre-clinical phase period in the drug discovery process. As one of the core institutions in the nation-wide network for molecular imaging research, the CMIS is also committed to cultivating the talent of young researchers, who will be the future driving force in this field.
The mission of the RIKEN Program for Drug Discovery and Medical Technology Platforms is to provide pharmaceutical and medical technology companies with platforms that will optimize the application of basic research seeds in drug discovery processes and medical technology innovation. Specifically, this involves forging alliances with private industry so that drug discovery platform units within RIKEN and outside networks can make optimum use of these seeds to lead to new advances in drug discovery and medical technology.

I left Metsudah early to do some touring of Odessa proper. I stayed with Sol and Dina, the JDC volunteers in Odessa, for four days, hanging out with them and seeing the Jewish and touristy parts of the city. They then left for Metsudah, and my friend and colleague Yulia came in to spent the last day with me in Odessa before taking the overnight train with me back to Dnepropetrovsk.

Holocaust Remembrance Day is an extremely important and meaningful holiday for Jews throughout Ukraine. Guests came from all over the country– from Kharkov, Dneprodzerzhinsk, and other eastern Ukrainian cities– as well as from Israel. In addition to the JDC Jerusalem group, the Metsudah leader, Shy, also came to Dnepropetrovsk to commemorate the occasion.
We congregated around the memorial that commemorates where the Jews of Dnepropetrovsk were executed at the start of the Holocaust. There were speeches by Rabbi Kaminetzky, Aharon Weiss, survivers and their relatives, high school students, and others. Poetry was read, candles were lit, and Yulia and I sang a sad Hebrew piece, Eli Eli. We then laid carnations and stones on the memorial. It was a beautiful and moving ceremony.

Blurb: How can heartbreak turn into happily ever after?
Tommy Gordon is all set for happily ever after—until heartbreak strikes when his husband-to-be leaves him at the altar. In a bid for distraction, his best friend, Grayson Phillips, suggests he takes advantage of the luxury honeymoon anyway! But the last thing Tommy wants is to go alone, so he invites Grayson and his son, Petey, along.
Beautiful Bonaire lends itself to romance, and along with close quarters, relaxing on the water, and a matchmaking kid, Tommy and Grayson soon find themselves closer than ever… and considering more, much to Grayson's delight. But before they can plan the best best honeymoon ever, dark clouds descend in the form of Tommy's ex and a sting from paradise that could ruin everything.
Review: Another simple, sweet Andrew Grey story.
This is an ideal "at the beach" read. Tommy and Grayson have been friends for a long time. When Tommy is jilted on his wedding day, Grayson is the shoulder he leans on through the ordeal, (along with a supportive family).
The story doesn't break new ground in the 'jilted at the altar' and 'best friend to lover' tropes, but the story flows nicely. Even though I knew that 'the ex shows up with regrets for breaking it off' portion of the story was coming up, I wanted to see how it would play out. The 2 MCs had their own (real life) issues, but they worked them out drama-free.
Overall, this is a sweet, uncomplicated romance, best enjoyed with a nice glass of *whatever you like to drink* ☺

No Comments on Release Day Review: A Little Side of Geek by Marguerite Labbe
https://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/books/a-little-side-of-geek-by-marguerite-labbe-9611-b
When opposite worlds collide, it's anyone's game.
Proud geek and comic book artist Morris Proctor wants nothing more than to live in semi-seclusion with his devil cat and gamer friends. Despite what his well-meaning family thinks, he's perfectly content with his status quo. The last thing he needs is to date another non-geek hell-bent on changing him.
Then he meets his adorkable new neighbor, Theo Boarman, who doesn't know Star Trek from Star Wars, but who tempts him like no other.
Theo has spent the last year recovering from the loss of his parents and trying to play both roles for his teenage brother, while working to keep the family restaurant afloat. Dating is the last thing on the menu, especially with a man who thinks the height of dining is shoving a packaged meal into the microwave.
But if Morris gives him one more shy smile or flaunts that kilt he wears so well, Theo will be forced to convince him that a hot summer fling is just the recipe to let off a little steam.
When that fling gets serious fast, Morris has to decide if he's willing to give his heart to Theo on the chance that they're a perfect mix.
Review by Beth
This is a story that slowly sucks you in. It is both a story of falling in love and healing from tragdy. A story about family both blood and found.
Marguerite does a wonderful job laying out the story to tease us into all of what life can throw at us and how we work our way through it. This is not a hot and heavy, all sexy times book. This is how life really does happen. An ebb and flow of side stories and romance as it happens over a summer. The author shows us that it's not all fireworks and spotlights. I think she did a fabulous job.
The MC's are well thought out and multidimensional, but I really liked the character of Lincoln. This is Theo's younger brother and he really does carry a third of the story. Teenage angst, insecurities and dealing with loss at an early age, Lincoln is as well developed as Morris and Theo.
I liked this story, I liked how comfortable it felt, how realistic it was and I quietly got to root for things to work out between Morris and Theo.
Review by Dee
I absolutely loved this story for its simplicity. That is not to say that there was no depth to the romance, no, just the opposite. All the characters were well developed, even the secondary ones. The story is also funny and heartwarming.
Morris, a simple soul who loves his geekiness, has been through relationships where the boyfriend has tried to 'improve' him. Needless to say, he's a bit gun-shy about relationships. Theo, his new neighbour, has recently lost his parents, co-owns a restaurant (with his sister) and is the legal guardian of his younger brother. With all that's going on, Theo is not in the market for a romance.
They decide to embark on a 'fling', but before they know it, they've wormed their way into each other's lives and hearts.
What I really like about the story is that there was a realistic look at friendships, family, dealing with tragedy and finding what makes one happy. There was no real drama, no prolonged misunderstandings.
I honestly loved how the relationship between the 2 men just flowed and grew, with the addition of their families blending into the mix.
Highly recommend. This will definitely go on my re-read list!
