Ok, so I'm putting this thing to bed and starting a new blog.

Why, you ask?

Maybe I wanted to put a lid on the past. Maybe I felt like it was time for a change. Maybe I got sick and tired of posting from the year 2011.

Who knows.

Our streetcar labours along College Street in sharp rain, past the stone-gated university, past the hooded natives outside the addiction center smoking cigarettes at picnic tables, their Winnipeg-via-Inglewood fashions growing darker and heavier.
