About

I am a sixty year old, middle-class woman living in a Canadian suburb from where I attempt to make sense of life as experienced directly and indirectly via the various media which are available to one living here.  Yes, there are many things about which to question, discuss, complain of or celebrate, and in these writings I am attempting to do so. Primarily these writings are intended as a record of my ruminations for my new grand-daughter who has been born into a fast-changing world, one which she may feel needing some comparison with a past as experienced by an older family member.

    Thank you for the comment. Drawing is the worst class because the professor is not a great professor. It is my least favorite. I do enjoy art and drawing despite the not so fun experiences of this drawing course.
