Winnipeg, Wichita, and Another Shot At The Dating Scene
As a city of 700,000, Winnipeg is too small to be cosmopolitan but too large to be folksy. Big-city complaints about violent crime compete with small-town gripes about the absence of privacy and if you're single, a terribly shallow gene pool. -Bartley Kives, Stuck in the Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg A few months … Continue reading Winnipeg, Wichita, and Another Shot At The Dating Scene

Note Here there might be spoilers for Daredevil season 2. Proceed if you dare. Remember all those words about savouring Daredevil on Netflix?

Music Monday: Cry Love By John Hiatt
https://youtu.be/el3IygVnIqM Some Music Mondays I put in the video, some lyrics, and leave things as is. Other times the song reminds me of something or launches a reflection.

Itchy Travel Feet
I found myself on Google Flight checking out prices. I looked at returning to New York, top of my list. I also checked for ballpark figures on flights to Sao Miguel, Portugal to visit the geography my parents recall in their stories. I also checked Toronto, Saskatoon, Regina, and Edmonton. Montreal also looks like another … Continue reading Itchy Travel Feet
Music Monday: The Subway Song by The Sesame Street Muppets
When I rode the 6, I had 'Jenny From the Block' in my head. The earworm dominating New York subway rides reached back into my memory. Never seen this Sesame Street song?
