Riding the REM - Part II?
I am a convert. On the weekend of November 15th to the 16th, I took the extended free ride on the REM (Réseau express métropolitain) in Quebec, but this was not the original plan. I had heard rumours that the original transit strike with the STM (Société de transport de Montréal) was winding down (this latter system runs exclusively on the island of Montréal). This was a relief, since the entire local system was going to be shut down for those two days. But, with a little elbow grease and some promises made to be broken, everything began to function again (as well as it could in a city like this). I wanted to see what the fuss was about.

Going to a concert alone.
In the past, I have found it difficult to apply makeup to my face when I have somewhere to go but no one to see. As if I am putting on a clown mask and a low-cut top while the sun has already gone to bed. Though, I did not feel this way as I got myself ready for a recent concert in Camden. No, not at all. I smudged black kohl around my eyes and coated a gloss on my lips, put on a pair of leopard print trousers and headed out the door with nothing to beat my heart other than blood and excitement.

Froggyland: A Wonder of the World
“Have you ever heard of Froggyland?” I have asked this question a million times in the past month, to friends, to students, to colleagues, to Tinder matches, to whosoever will listen to the ramblings of a madman (me). Have you, dear reader, ever heard of Froggyland? I thought not. It’s not a place you read about in the history textbooks. No wars were fought over it, no huddled masses ever sought refuge there. No kings were crowned in Froggyland, and therefore none were overthrown in bloody or bloodless revolution. Froggyland is Froggyland, simple as that.
