Thirteen Things about Ms Cin1. When I was in junior high, I used to win math contests. By the time I graduated I was convinced of my utter inability to understand mathematics. Oddly, I walked away with an ‘A’ in Physics and a ‘C’ in Algebra. Now really, what does [...]

6:40 in the morning.
It’s full light out, yet still cool enough for me to be glad of my sweater. A light breeze has decided to gambol down Granville, past the workmen at the construction site, over the dark-suited office workers and the pedestrians. The accessory of the day seems to be a paper-cupped bevvie from [...]

Friday Silliness (But Sadly, No Felines)

Dearest,
Still alive here. Really. Just doing a lot of those things that are absolutely and excruciatingly boring to read about, let alone write about (“Dear Diary, today I spent another 8 hours in front of my computer, taking only one break to eat ricotta cheese out of the tub…” Yawn).
