The Little Things

Damned good to be home: cinnamon raison bagels, hockey highlights, fresh salmon, real salads, I could go on forever.
Later today I'm going to check out a rental property that my aunt just bought. There is a farm that has been in my family for many, many years. I will be stopping by there to visit with people. Funny, I'm looking forward to seeing people's pet dogs almost as much as the people themselves. I may be in the market for a dog myself soon. Black labrador. My father owned one dog named Duke, then another named Spook. I'll be naming my dog something that ends with 'ook'. I'm thinking maybe 'Cook'. Not pronounced like a chef but like someone who is nuts, maybe spell it 'Kook'.
Swimming in an Olympic sized pool, sane security guards, drinking water from the tap without concern for mortality, Western medicine (socialist:free for all in Canada), fresh air, spatial acuity of people walking around...
