A Post


This afternoon, after an exciting day of learning about international-mindedness in education, Gin and I stopped for dinner at the teeny-bopper mecca known as the shopping mall food court. We were lucky enough to find a table which I sat at while Gin rustled up some grub. The patrons beside us left, and left behind a small strawberry yogurt puddle. Busy as it was soon a young, kind-looking couple came to occupy the table, but upon realizing that there was an unsolicited gift they made to find cleaner pastures. I had a tissue on the table, and so I casually reached over and cleaned up the mess. How did they respond? The man looked at me, smiled, and said: ‘You’re not from Toronto are you?’

    Interesting. I have to ask, tho, is this an actual factual story? or a ploy to see who or anyone responds? Pretty cool story, either way.
    PS…. now that I have come home, absolutely rung out from another day of 2 RNs where there should be 6, I turn on this new machine, (gifted to me by my gifted descendants) and in less time than it takes me to forget why I turned the machine on, or even that I did turn it on, there is an email from aforementioned – wow. thanks for this. I have heard horror stories of snow in Ottawa, so I hope you are not in that much. If you are, Inka will need a bike flag attached to her tail. Then I will see her boinging on the 11 o’clock news! Love and Light, and thanks for the note, mom/mil

    Ya, completely true story.

    Thanks for the comments. Janet, I’ll try to get better at leaving some sort of sign that I’ve read your blog. I know how nice it is to see a comment (like this one), so I’ll try to do it for you too!
