Absence

Pardon my absence, I spent a week in Alberta and was probably too busy eating or drinking to blog. Some things I've noticed.

I only notice how smoky Calgary bars are after I leave them.

Toronto's Pearson airport is full of people who travel well, meaning they don't look like they are travelling. I obvioulsy didn't get the memo that it's no longer ok to travel in old jeans, glasses, no make-up and a ponytail.

The best game to play at an airport is to watch people figure out which black suitcase belongs to them. It's also enjoyable to see what various contraptions people have created to identify their previously unidentifiable black suitcase.

I finally finished War and Peace, I look forward to getting on with the next part of my reading life. Don't ask any questions about the book, it's so damn long I barely remember what happened except there was a lot of war, Napoleon was there, they burned Moscow, people died, others were sad, some got married, more people died. The wars eventually ended even though I thought the book might not.
