"Stricken by a mysterious illness that has left his face a mask of puffy, red cysts and lesions, Yushchenko said to the crowd, "This is the face of today's Ukraine."--Harper's.
Canada's Strippergate continues. And the rest of the world makes headlines, too.
We woke this morning to something like 7-8 cm of snow on the ground, the sky gray. I made coffee and pancakes, Patti ate an egg and toast. While I was answering emails just now freezing rain began, and I can hear the little icy splats against the windowpane as I type. I think I might have more coffee. And then, after my mug is sufficiently warmed, I will open the Latin and continue on, studying, filling my brain, re-awakening the knowledge I put in there over the past three months, letting it stretch a bit. Prodding it like a mum: "Come on, 3rd declension i-stem nouns, it's time to go to school." "But I don't want to, and look, it's snowing..."
Yes, that's right, I'm going to bundle my little Latin verbs up with scarves, and put them on the little Latin bus. Or is that omnibus? OK, I've really gone over the edge.

the human behind the bean
I'm a 27 year old Canadian woman. I grew up on Cape Breton Island, although my parents and their families are from Quebec and Ohio. Currently I live in Cape Breton, in a small town by the Bras D'Or Lake.
I can make a good soup and tie my own shoes. I've worked as a nanny, a potter's assistant, a shop clerk, and a janitor. I've also worked in a library, and taught computers to seniors. I've travelled to Australia and New Zealand and across Canada by train. I spent two and a half years in university before I left. I like the way the air smells in the Fall.
Since 2002 - this is my blog, a place for me to write about life, what I experience, to share my photography and my writing. I'm glad you're here!
