People don’t eat much cornbread up in Canada. Saw this at a grocery in Michigan, made me smile.

I’m dining alone tonight and wanted something simple.

We’re living in a stylistic tropics. There’s a whole generation of people able to access almost anything from almost anywhere, and they don’t have the same localised stylistic sense that my generation grew up with. It’s all alive, all “now,” in an ever-expanding present, be it Hildegard of Bingen or a Bollywood soundtrack. The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.

The weather was bad, but I had some holds to pick up at the library and needed some groceries.

Today we went to an historic photography exhibit at St. Lawrence Market. There were interesting photos of Ol’ York.
