K on a hobble

At the Memorial Day ceremonies yesterday, I heard my name quietly
called and I turned to see my friend K operating a camera. K works in
the same building that I do, primarily now as a TV producer for the
university.

"Just a hobble," he said. The CBC had to cover a lot of sites that
day and it no longer has enough in-house staff to do it without hiring
outside people. K was glad to do it; he's done camera work for
decades.

The Dictionary of Newfoundland English has "hobble":
