They will not let you have peace, they don't want you to have anything they don't have themselves. - Margaret Atwood

I soon had a few thousand people I didn’t know sending me messages like “OMG! Is it really you?” “I love it when old ladies blog,” one early follower remarked. … and they really shone when, during the Olympics, I said that "Own the podium" was too brash to be Canadian, and suggested "A podium might be nice." Their own variations poured onto a feed tagged #cpodium: "A podium! For me?" "Rent the podium, see if we like it." "Mind if I squeeze by you to get onto that podium?" I was so proud of them! It was like having 33,000 precocious grandchildren!

But people will do anything rather than admit that their lives have no meaning. No use, that is. No plot.

All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is. Anything else is sentimental drivel.
