Finally sitting down with Stacey's 'A very double life'. I've been intrigued about this book since I heard Christopher Plummer's take on Robertson Davies' take on Mackenzie King. Talk about hearsay, amirite? I have wanted to read this book for a while.
Now I have it here thanks to the WPL. I don't plan to buy a copy. This reading will be enough. Hello to Wednesday!

That bio of Lester Pearson is behind me. Still my cup needeth filling. Speeches by our five-dollar face? He looks grumpy on the cover of the book. 'Canada always'. If there was anyone who believed deeply in Canada in its infancy, it was Sir Wilfrid. How would he feel about the likes of PM Deadeyes, Joe Who, John Who, PM for 5 minutes, or the PM Unnatural Disaster (and his lovely wife Mila) commenting on his great efforts?
Perhaps he is right to look so grumpy.
Anyway, that is all for now.

Mike Pearson. The Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson. Dude won a Nobel Peace Prize. Dude has an international airport (and much more) named after him. I'm reading English's 'Shadow of Heaven'. Young Pearson.
And it's Thursday. Pretty wet out today. On a political binge of late.

I bought a new floor lamp yesterday. It took time to put together. Stressful. Anyway, the lamp is pretty good. Got a nice discount. Many thanks, Canadian Tire.
The kids can borrow books starting today. So far so good.

Pretty normal. The kids have their first day back this Friday. Yesterday was a little maddening. Power outage, a crawl through a parking lot, and running out of time to do stuff at the end of the day.
Anyway, September looks promising.
