New Suit: No Course

I am very happy to be an early riser, particularly in Spring as sunrise, with its attendant birdsong, moves earlier and earlier in the day. I fell in love with birdsong when I was very young—less than four years old—and quarantined due to Scarlet Fever. I remember that feeling of imprisonment and the sense of escape I felt when hearing the robins’ morning song.

Yesterday I bought my first suit. I will wear it at my party and on stage for Trudeau. I absolutely love the suit we ordered made. Yes, I bought a custom-made suit. It is grey, with hints of blue (which is perfect given the tones of my Ermenegildo Zegna shirts), and I got elegant blue suede shoes to wear with it.


And GOOD NEWS! I won’t know for sure until Tuesday, but I believe the course I am supposed to teach April 23-27 in Penticton will be cancelled. They pay was good, but having to lecture for six hours a day, four days in a row, is brutal. It would have been very hard on my voice.
