THE HARLOT IS COMING!!!
And I’m going…tonight. I’m quite sure the poor suburb of Kanata won’t know what hit it.
Must remember book for signing…and camera!!!!
My neighbour Craig and I like to pretend that the other is interested in our respective obsessions. Email exchanges go like this:
Craig: Hey tonight the Bruins are playing and you are welcome [...]

I am impressed by you. Last night, Madeline took her socks into the tub and I washed them with a bit of Dove shampoo and, I didn’t think it was possible but, you are softer. Now the rational side of my mind knows that the wool probably compacted and got a bit greasy [...]
