cycling light with a backpack.

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.10.31

I've decided to forgo my pannier and rack, for a while, in favor of a water-proof backpack. My nice, light, new bike doesn't deserve all that ungainly weight at the back!

Curiously, the lift bridge on Cherry street was up for a third time this week. That's still only three times in the 20 years since I first moved here, but the charm is beginning to wear off.

Happy Hallowe'en! I'm going to be the man in the yellow hat to The Girl's "Curious George".

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a monday-to-friday sort of dying.
