Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Dig gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, and claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!
--Lewis Carroll

[Smile] ...oh, Dunfie, I’m so glad I checked your blog. You are so missed. Am really enjoying reading this. I used to love sending you bits that you would use in your column (Christmas Gloves, coats for Bosnia, the Air Canada letter opener, fruitcake for canoe trips...) I found an old envelope of clippings last week. Decades of laughs from you. Your Canada Day column is what I show people from away who ask about Canada. Hoping you are well and that you still visit the waterfall. Much love and gratitude. Annie (Old Weird Annie) 💋
Annie! Happy we're still laughing. Had any chili chocolate gelato lately?
[Splutter!] No! How do you know about this? Did we talk about gelato all those years ago? I loved that stuff but haven’t had / thought about it in years and now I will not rest until I have some! I went to Italy solo in 2010 and, to keep in touch with folks, did a blog called Gelato Quest... but now I can't even remember where I had Chili Chocolate. I may have to make some. You are a very scary man with a memory like that. I hope you use your powers for good, not for evil! Also...I was visiting friends at their cottage when I messaged you. I used to canoe trip with them, and read them your Canada piece this morning. We all wept into our breakfast. Brilliant. 🥰
How else would I know about GROM?
[Headsmack!] Oh, crud! I hadn’t looked at that blog in years, had forgotten what drivel I’d written. Menopause Brain is real - and not for the faint of heart. Sorry to have inflicted that drivel on a writer of your stature. You should have a stiff drink and a lie down. (Also, I miss GROM...)
