This last weekend reached the high twenties Celsius, and I went out on a stroll at 11pm without a jacket. This is highly unusual for little Quebecer me. I love [&#8230;]]]></description>

Tom often joked about how I would write him into a story, and I answered that if I did him justice, I&#8217;d be critiqued for the lack of realism. [&#8230;]]]></description>

Some TV show, that classic scene of a doctor telling the main character that &#8220;time will tell&#8221; if their loved one would make it. A thought burst in my mind: &#8220;What a filthy lie! Time doesn&#8217;t talk!&#8221; And then I had a voice in my head, [&#8230;]]]></description>
