What you're about to read is a direct copy of the Counios and Gane newsletter. David said I shouldn't copy and paste it because we don't want to have the same content for both our Counios and Gane newsletters and my blog.

Am I allowed to complain in this month of (Canadian) Thanksgiving? I’m in full swing. Teaching Monday to Friday. Also, writing Monday to Friday with daily meetings and words on the page.

I'm sitting at my table listening to Ted Talks--- Like I used to years ago in my attic apartment of the old house I owned. I was parallel with the trees in the sloped top of the old character home. I lived in the romance of my cute little place. That was a truth. I... Continue Reading →
