Presto!
I broke the law and have no regrets. They didn’t catch me. Well, technically it wasn’t a law, but I think a city bylaw. I didn’t ask what rules I was about to break, just told the transit employee I was going to take my chances and be riding the bus without paying. Now before […]
The Round Church – III
I do wonder how you get chosen to be one of the fortunate students who gets to study in this place. It can’t be as easy as just sending an email request, can it? To me it seems like a singular honour, but maybe that is because I am living in Ottawa where the […]
This Is Spring?
It is May, not March. There is not supposed to be even a hint of snow. Is there someplace I can go to get a refund? –
The Picture Says It All
I’ve never been a huge fan of video games – and now I know why!
The Raccoon

The Girl On The Train
I read The Girl On The Train two summers ago when everyone on the beach was reading it. I thought I had shared my impressions of it with you, but a search of past posts doesn’t turn it up. The movie seemed like a safe choice for inflight entertainment, given that the flight was more […]
