This Year’s Reading

Posted on January 9, 2020 by

Getting books from the library is awesome. Except for the cost of transportation (bus fare or gas) it’s free.  If you use an e-reader you don’t even need to go there, and in some cases, can keep the book for … Continue reading →

Posted on November 3, 2019 by

Transportation projects irk me. I think it is because they promise so much but take so much time and inconvenience so many people.  Every day I need to go to work or go south on Yonge Street, I think the … Continue reading →

Not When I Got to My Stop.

Posted on August 22, 2019 by

There were several candidates for Today’s Perfect Moment. I saw a Canadian actress on the subway–or I at least thought I did. I am (now) unsure as to whether I “recognized” her or just felt that I knew her from … Continue reading →

Posted on August 21, 2019 by

Today’s Perfect Moment comes in two parts. The first is seeing my new student role his foldable bike into my classroom. As anyone who reads this blog knows, I love bicycles and anything to do with bicycles.  Seeing a decent … Continue reading →

A Spot of Lunch

Posted on July 22, 2019 by

Today’s Perfect Moment is all about getting treated to a Sunday lunch. After some shopping and looking around the mall, we headed to our scheduled destination and a sushi lunch.  Normally, I am a sashimi kind of person, usually ordering … Continue reading →

Scenes from an Interaction on the Bus

Posted on July 9, 2019 by

Tragedy Averted

Posted on June 27, 2019 by
