My 16th Day of March



I woke up this morning and I realized two things: (1) that I am just seven hundred and eighty seven days away from having lived in Canada longer than I lived in my native Romania (the score is 13,798 to 13,011) and (2) it is the feast of  St. Sabin of Egypt who lived during the reign of emperor Diocletian. So I brushed my teeth and went to my ”Yoga in the Park” at 7:15. The sky was covered with what seemed to be a thick, gray solid layer of cloud. The class was invigorating at -1° C (according to the weather channel it felt like -9° C). I got home at 8:30 and had a shower and breakfast (cup of coffee and a glass of one third orange juice and two thirds mineral water) and then went to do my shift at the community fridge at Ossington and Dupont. The sky was covered with what seemed to be a thick, white solid layer of cloud. 
On my way home, at Hallam and Delaware, I saw a young girl wearing a white wedding dress and black cowboy boots, on a bike, with a ladder on her right shoulder pedaling relatively fast and very determined going North. I decided to investigate further and make it the subject of a future post in my, this here, blog.
