Canada Day – 2008 (#141)

  I’ve managed to celebrate 46 of these days now. they used to be crazy, unrestricted abandon. 45 versions later, i’ve mellowed a bit. A gorgeous day here in TO, Hope your Canada day is fruitful.  and ur getting out.

Having a positive day. writing, planning and reading great stuff –   Been working my way through JM Coetzee ( especially Disgrace)) ,  I like this guy a lot. Not being pretentious ( he won the Nobel Prize for Lit) but he is brutal,  frank.But ITS GREAT READING. His meaty ideas flow around politics, human condition and usually have a main character that is a conflicted older, single man,grappling with notions of sex/relationships ( butmore to it than that), you’ve read him tho, i figger. Now reading Diary of a Bad Year. Yeah.  Good way to start the Day. Brutal. 

 

Feeling positive today –  surrounded by this ocean of negativity. 

I returned from a wicked afternoon bike ride out along the big lake, to Humber Bay, watched Ethiopians celebrate Canada Day, wearing head scarves and MTL Canadiens t-shirts.  Crazy. This is a country,  EH???    now raising  a tasty cold brew on the deck with the White Stripes pumping through the house.  LOUD. HOTTEST BUTTON

Next up The Hold Steady.
