Open Letters

Dear Paul Gross,

Thank you so much for making Passchendaele. By making this movie that finally shows Canadian soldiers in WWI combat, you have single-handedly given Social Studies teachers in this country new material to show how and why Canada became her own nation during that conflict, and now students will finally "get it".

I can't tell you how excited I was when I first saw the trailer and shrieked to my husband, "They're CANADIAN! Do you SEE that? CANADIAN!"

Oh, and now I have a teensy crush on you. Hope you don't mind. (wink)

Dear Barack Obama,

I am glad you won. Please stay safe.

Dear Betsy (aka My Car),

Although the driver's side visor falling off and landing in my lap was not without its amusement, I am worried about you. Between the noisy wheel bearing and the mysterious rhythmic squeaking, I'm getting quite concerned. Hold on, old girl.

To the Moron Who Cut Me Off in Traffic Yesterday and Then Flipped Me the Bird,

Your concept of "cause and effect" seems a little flawed.

To My Right Ankle,

Keep getting better. You're coming along nicely.

To My Blog Readers,

I'll try to do better at keeping you entertained.

And I'm getting closer to 100 found geocaches.
