We are beset with rain. Two rainfall warnings in latter days. I have been besieged by the flu and strep G. I have no idea what strep G really is, but feel special on account of the fact it is neither A nor B. I contracted the flu in Alberta I think and have in honour of frost temperatures in Edmonton named it the arctic penguin flu. It was worth contracting it because the conversations I had at Wordfest were so enlightening and engaging. <\/p>\n

\nReading.<\/p>\n
Last night I read Book 23 of the Odyssey (Robert Fagles translation). I like reading the books within this book entirely out of sequence. Beside Book 23 I read Joanna Kavenna’s Inglorious which I highly recommend for it’s humour and language. <\/p>\n
Next week I’ve decided to try to make Audrey Thomas reading week. Her work has been recommended to me time and time again and she’s a BC author I must become acquainted with. <\/p>\n
Thank you to STARfest in St Albert and to WordFest in Banff\/Calgary for the wonderful time I shared at your festival with readers, writers and thinkers. Thank you Xiaolu for the walk up the mountain. <\/p>\n
