Got to Chapters/Starbucks with one mother, one daughter, three sons, two Labs, and lots of stuff. Driving rain, Hellish, etc.
Guy at counter, checking through the stack of snowboarding/dirtbiking/punk/vampire magazines/books, and apparently knowing who I am: “You on Iggy’s tour this Summer?”
Me: “I wish.”
Pause.
Me: “Oh. You meant Ignatieff. I meant Iggy Pop.”
Sent my way, up in the woods: [Left to right] Rockin’ Al, Ritalin Boy, Nuclear Age, Rayman. Unseen but unforgotten: Davey Snot.
Up at the cabin with three sons, one daughter, one Mom, and two labs. Barring any events of significant significance, this space will be off the grid for a while.
Have a safe and happy week.

“Laureen and I send former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien our best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. Along with his wife Aline, Mr. Chrétien and his family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jean Chretien has successful brain surgery in Montreal

Former prime minister Jean Chretien is recovering in a Montreal hospital after undergoing surgery to relieve a pooling of blood on his brain.
A news release issued by Montreal’s Jewish General Hospital said Chretien had surgery to relieve a spontaneous subdural hematoma, or a collection of blood between the skull and the brain, on Friday.
The hospital said neurosurgeon Dr. Jeff D. Golan successfully evacuated the blood, which had accumulated on the right side of Chretien’s head.
Hospital staff will update the former prime minister’s condition during a news conference at 12:30 p.m. Saturday.
Chretien is expected to be released from hospital in a few days.
He appeared in good health in May when he attended the unveiling of his official portrait on Parliament Hill.
Chretien, 76, served as an MP for 40 years and led three Liberal-majority governments in a decade as prime minister.
Chretien left public life when he resigned as prime minister in December 2003, and went to work for Heenan Blaikie, mostly at the law firm’s Ottawa office. But he is also active at the Montreal office, according to the firm’s website.
He underwent emergency quadruple bypass surgery in 2007 at the Montreal Heart Institute, shortly before his memoirs were published.
If anyone can tell me what the Hell I meant, there, please drop me a line, because the more I read it, the less comprehensible it becomes.
