Home again
1 March 2010 in
My Canadian book tour went well. I had a good audience in Canmore at Cafe Books, despite being on at the same time as a major Olympic hockey game; I had a great audience in Calgary at the Memorial Park Library (with Pages bookstore) despite being on at the same time as a major Olympic hockey game; I had a wonderful audience in Montreal at the Jewish Public Library, despite being on at the same time as a major Olympic hockey game; and I had a decent audience in Toronto at the Downtown Reference Library, despite being on during a snowstorm.
It snowed while I was in Montreal as well as Toronto, thus fulfilling my sad little ex-pat desire to experience a proper Canadian city winter once again; however, the snow in both cities turned out to be very wet. Instead of pristine snowdrifts covering up the cars and houses and city streets, we got epic piles of slush and huge slushy puddles where, really, the only appropriate footwear was knee-high rubber boots. Hideous.
But I’d go back again tomorrow for more of it, happily.
