Weird degrees of separation...
Okay, so there are a couple of recent dramatic events that have touched me in a weird way.
First, let's start with the unbelievable crap that went down in Montreal yesterday. I know this particular area of the city very, very well. I could see the apartment where I used to live, as I watched the drama unfold on live TV. I know folks who have kids at Dawson College. This is, of course, all anyone is talking about around here today.
Secondly, I've been keeping an eye on the Anna-Nicole Smith drama as well. Without offering too many details here (in the interest of keeping some anonymity), I will explain: I spent most of my adult life in Nassau. So has Main Man (it's where we met, and it's where Step Son lives). I know that private hospital very well; her ob/gyn was my ob/gyn. Her current local lawyer is an acquaintance of mine, and interestingly, he too lost his 17-yr-old son tragically a few years ago.
Anyway, all of this puts me in a funky mood today. I actually have quite a few humourous things I'd love to say about Anna-Nicole... like, for example, the fact that we shared a gynie makes me want to take a shower; a lot... but I figure she's taking quite a beating right now, so...
On a bright note, way to go Lukas Rossi!!!
p.s. - I have not forgotten about my promised animal-related adventure story... I just need for Main Man's car to stay parked in the driveway long enough for me to take a few pictures first. I'll bet you're intrigued now...!
