Halifax, 2004.04.09

Today was a beautiful sunny day, and the first warm day we've had, so I decided to go for a walk.

Two hours later, I found myself near a known movie theater, so I decided to do the same thing I usually wind up doing on sunny Spring days: I sat in a dark, air-conditioned space for two hours. I saw Hellboy. It was good, except toward the end when it was not so good.

Naturally, I emerged from the cinema to discover that the air temperature had dropped by ten degrees. I wound up walking back via a different route and was somewhat chilled when I finally got in.

Halifax is an odd town. 350 thousand people, yet everything—and I mean everything, except maybe some pubs—closes down on weekends and holidays. I needed groceries this evening, but I was SOL.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
