there was a dump of snow two weeks ago. meaning, i went tobogganing. lithuania park with zillions of kids squealing down slopes trying to avoid crashing into the many no tobogganing signs. my daughter befriended a new kid and the two of them started racing. her self assured mother seemed friendly and said she had the next two weeks off work so she will probably be doing a lot of tobogganing. later told me her ex-husband got Covid. I made a joke and asked is that a good thing or a bad thing? She laughed but 7 sleds later told me she shouldn’t have laughed, and after another 11 sleds I asked so what do you do that you’ll be off for two weeks? she gave an enigmatic look, I’m a police officer. that’s great i said, it’s important work you do and then wondered how i made up that response so fast which had nothing to do with what i think. where did those words come from? i think what it means it is just plain uncomfortable to know someone who is also a member of a private army for hire. i had some practice. i one time attended a socan doo with then minister of heritage, perrin beatty and was introduced to gowan and alan frew. someone said smile and took our picture. nice to meet you larry, alan, perry…it’s important work you do. can lie at the speed of light. should get that on a business card.
