So busy, no time even to sit here and tell you about it. Nothing special, just the usual – work, family, house, friends, stuff. It’s all great, and it all feels a bit too much sometimes.
Had a sleepover with Eli this week, most importantly, as brother Ben was sick. On the streetcar back to my house, he looked at me seriously. “Glamma, is it today or tomorrow?”
How to answer such an existential question?
We decided to plant his little garden, as we did last year. What did he want to grow? “Strawberries,” he said, after careful consideration, “and sushi.”
Jean-Marc and Richard, who love kids and are wonderful with them, came to visit. JM told Eli they were going to fly home. After they left, he said, “How did those guys fly home? What if they lose their superpowers?”
Eli last year – couldn’t find a pic of him in the same kind of pose as Dad below, but you get the idea.
Then rode further down Victoria Street to the passport office, to pick up my brand new passport that’s good till 2026. I’ll be 75 the next time I need to renew it. The picture in this one of a crabby old lady will be replaced by a much older and crabbier one.
Finally, I and the whole world shout this: GO HILLARY!

Those are beautiful young men, all of them.
Thank you, Theresa. I think so too. Too bad one of them isn't around to enjoy the company of the other two. But you know about that loss.
