The Sunday Jack!

Bookshelf Guardian Jack says “Choose wisely.”

I hope you are having as beautiful a spring day as we are here in Montreal. The trees are finally in leaf, and it seems like a great day to take a book to the park and enjoy the outdoors. Choosing the wrong book may result in injury related to lasers and/or fire.

The Sunday Jack!

Birds! Birds! Birds! Spring! Birds! Squirrels! Birds! (Jack in triplicate!)

Happy Sunday, everyone! If you’re Christian, happy Easter Sunday to you. It was always my favourite of the high holy days; the spirit of celebration was always so infectious.

“Get rid of death. Celebrate increase. Make it be Spring.” ~ Margaret Atwood, “February”

 

Introducing: Your Weekly Jack!

It’s Sunday! A day for rest, reflection, being lazy, and looking at cute cat pictures on the internet. I hereby present my contribution toward your achievement of the latter goal: Your Weekly Jack! Meet Mr. Classy Jack:

He really is the greatest. Ask anyone who’s met him. He’s named for the Hon. John Gilbert “Jack” Layton (July 18, 1950 – August 22, 2011), one of my all time political heroes, whose funeral was on the same day that I brought this adorable, timid little cat into my home.

Have an excellent day, everyone! For all my fellow Montrealers, I hope you’re enjoying the long-awaited sunshine and above-zero temperatures.
