Kingston would be for the full weekend... and I have gone twice in the past. It was awesome!

I checked the map and you're right - Kingston's much too far for an easy there-and-back. I'm glad you got to participate at Eden Mills, though.

In response to "Stuff About Me "

Miserably Stuck ...

I hate asking for help.

I used to belong to writer's groups here and have fond memories of readings elsewhere; but that was so long ago.

I love going to writer's events too! I enjoy the feeling of inclusion with other people who share my love of writing.

I think "The Soundtrack of Your Life"

is my favorite too... I love seeing what everyone else has listened to over the past year!

In response to "I Can to It.... yeah, right. "

I don't know if you remember me blogging about this, but Vic's dad had Alzheimer's, and it was 7 years of him just being an empty shell. Vic's mother is in the mid stages where she's violent and combative, Vic ended up placing her in a home because she was hurting the caretakers who were staying in her home with her. I worry about Vic because he is forgetful more and more, his grandparents and his parents all had some form of dementia.

Memories of my Dad

Soundtrack Of My Life

February 3
Today is the anniversary of my father's passing. He had a heart attack while in the terminal cancer ward at Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital. I was 12. He was 44. That was 41 years ago. I have picked a couple of songs that always play at my heartstrings and bring tears to my eyes.

The first is Luther Vandross: Dance With My Father Again.

The second is Dan Fogelberg: Leader of the Band

When I first heard this song I was 12 or 13. I was taking guitar lessons. My Dad was not musically inclined, but the song spoke to me. The line: 'his blood runs through my instrument' reminds me that his blood runs through me and I am his living legacy. It was something that kept me going through those not kind teenage years.
