Sweet Régine

Sweet Régine,
Come around to my neighbourhood. I'll dig a tunnel under the city you can crawl through, to my apartment across the Parc Lafontaine. Lying in my bedroom as the day grows dim we'll try to name our babies from the names of all our friends. When you close your eyes in my bedroom, you can sleep until the day grows dim. I'll figure out what happens next. [...]

visit to guelph en route to the rock

Sylvia and I stopped in Guelph to visit Andrew and Christie and stretch our legs after the long drive through northern Ontario. Andrew showed us around the farm, and we picked rocks for a while before a picnic lunch of pesto, hummus and fresh veggie sandwiches on rye.

A fine day was had by all.

Then we got back in the car and drove another 2500 kilometers.
