Depends on the Season! Or does it?
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? What I enjoying doing the most seems to depend on the season. Summer involves a lot of hiking, kayaking and reading; winter involves a lot of cross country skiing if there is snow (which there isn’t much of right now!). It also involves a lot of reading. Hmmm, I see a common thread here. Perhaps, it is not a seasonal thing at all… Ok, upon…

List five things you do for fun. Reading: I have always loved a good book! Science fiction, fantasy, science and historical nonfiction have been my go to it genres. My latest book is Assyria, an excellent review of now distant civilization often imbued with dread, most likely a result of numerous polemics in the Bible. It was a fascinating read. I was actuallt sad finishing it. Hiking: I don’t…

Albino Raccoon
Dead albino raccoon along residential street in Toronto. A rare animal! I’ve read that the probability of an albino racoon is about 1:10,000, though the chance of seeing one are 1:750,000! I suspect this poor animal was hit by a car and was able to get off the road before dying.
