Is that a dance, a book or a  romantic liaison?
A fool's paradise is better than none.

P.C.

I think it is a book that you can read while you are doing a romantic dance.
Sir Isaac Newton invented the swinging door....for the convenience of his cat.

As For Me And My House - Sinclair Ross. I first read this about three years ago and decicded that it was the best work of literature ever to come out of Canada, and I'm wondering how I'll feel about it this time round.

It's a quick read and you'll enjoy it, SD.
 It'll increase your resolve to never set foot in Walmart or Starbucks.

lol
It's not like I go to those places already.
I don't know what I'm going to do now that I'm moving to the richest postal code area. Going to miss Harewood although they've now ruined the ambiance of the place, they've gentrified the strip mall there, put in a Starbucks. Oh well there's always DTES, Gastown and Commercial Drive to make me feel at home.

Lil Me

Yeah, I'm sure you'll enjoy lots of Vancouver neighbourhoods.
 Plus- there are lots of protests, political meetings, lectures at the library, etc.  It's all listed in the Calender section of the Georgia Straight newspaper (the free one on the street).
