I have been on media almost everywhere (locally) but here about this- let me give you an update about our work to protect a public park, an ecologically significant beach area, from being developed into a golf course.

Despite the out-of season storm we filled Black Heritage Hall in Guelph yesterday for the launch of "Planet Earth" (House of Anansi) with much good humour and thanks to Jesse Ruddock for MCing and Barbara Kyle for being much more perceptive than I about writing and Stephen Best for the photo...>

If you get a copy of Sunday's @TorontoStar, there will be my op-ed about Allenby School, the diagnosis of measles, the polio epidemic of the 1950s, "Wall Ball" and 1 Spadina Street. BTW was the eastern playground covered in coal slag then? It was irregular, brown-black, abrasive.

Thanks to the crew at Guelph Little Theatre for their production of "The Ward", making my sketch comedy, somehow, poignant as well as funny.
