A 60 Second Symphony of Subway Sounds!

An odd thing happened when I was busking recently. I quickly grabbed my camera to take a photo of a cute little dog but the shutter release button wouldn't click. I didn't realize, until I got home, it was because the camera was set on the Movie setting. I'd pushed the button several times and when I put it down on my bag beside me, it was recording everything that happened until the disc was full. As I watched it, I noticed some interesting stuff and thought I'd share this little clip...

Holiday Gifts!

Pre-wrapped copies of the book available for gift giving, which I will happily send directly to the recipient on your behalf. Please indicate what you'd like written on the card and provide the full mailing address when you place your order. No additional charge for wrapping!

Stopped by to see the The Famous Five, while in Winnipeg. Nellie seems quite shocked to learn that women are out there busking these days. Thanks to them, us gals can do all sorts of things!
