		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve settled on a text for this year&#8217;s Grimsby Wayzgoose Anthology; it&#8217;s a contemporary and oft-told fable that can stand one more telling, I suppose &#8212; this time recounted in true curmudgeonly fashion by yours truly. The Bird, the Cow &#38; the Cat ~ A Cautionary Fable for Cultural Bureaucrats, a tale inspired by the benign intervention [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been prowling the typecases as I plan my next project: a Wayzgoose signature. After some sorting and reorganizing (I finally managed to sort some of the wood type!), I decided to print up a few of the blocks and fleurons that I&#8217;ve admired for years. &#160; One of my objectives was to test [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by the precision and beauty of the work produced by the Ottawa Press Gang, I decided to make another attempt on my season&#8217;s greetings. This time, I&#8217;m relying on the grumpy eloquence of Ebeneezer Scrooge, whose word-perfect sentiments match my own when it comes to decrying the mindless, noisy and greed-driven behaviour of most [...]]]></description>

The Ottawa Press Gang gathered this morning at Gaia Java Coffee Company in Stittsville to share stories and laughter, good conversation and excellent coffee.

		<description><![CDATA[Press work continues on a small scale, with seasonal greetings, courtesy of Ebeneezer Scrooge.  I am still learning the basics of  two-colour registration &#8211; and while I am generally pleased with the cover of the card, I was dismayed to see that the green ink had begun to clot. I suspect that this is due [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After an unplanned hiatus that lasted nearly two years, I am glad to be working on my press once more. I&#8217;m starting with a small project intended to reacquaint me with the press and process. This time, a set of bookmarks (in time for Christmas?!) featuring the wit and wisdom of Wilde, Eagan, and Marx [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I’ve finished printing my Wayzgoose contribution…and just in time! I just finished the covers for the 50 copies that are destined for the author and printer. They’re nestled, carefully interleaved with scrap paper, waiting for the ink to dry before I fold and compile them into their signatures. Though the submission deadline looms, I’m feeling that some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The submission date for the Grimsby Wayzgoose signature is looming – and it seems with each passing day, I’m cranking more desperately. An intensive session on the press this weekend has yielded some good results, and a few hard lessons (more on that later!). For now though, I can report that I’m nearly finished, with only the covers left to print. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After far too much time procrastinating, I’ve finally got myself organised to print a little pamphlet for the upcoming Grimsby Wayzgoose (3rd Saturday in April). It’s a lovely little tale entitled Entre Deux Saisons by Richard St-Laurent. It’s written in French, which makes the proofreading and corrections a little more challenging, since the diacritics are inverted! Most of the text [...]]]></description>
