Dear Gentle Reader,I have been asked to contribute from time to time to someone else's blog!
Your Heroine will have a fit; she (rightly) is convinced that too much time is spent online already.
Tschuess,

Chris, it's addictive; and I have cut back a little with the visiting. My fiction writing was taking too long a hiatus.
So, what's this I hear about Edmonton being your old stomping grounds...which high school did you attend?
Hello Barbara,
You are right, it is. I am trying to do the same.
Four high schools, four cities, three provinces. (Very perceptive to guess it was high school; it was more than two decades ago that I was there...)
Edmonton was (dredge for it, dredge for it...) Archbishop MacDonald Senior High.
Did you spend time there too?
Tschuess,
Chris
I didn't go to Mac, but to Ross Shep. I even remember the area north of 107 Avenue along 142nd Street to 111th Avenue for a time was storage sheds with railroad sidings. There were hills made out of plaster drywall castoffs that my play buddies and I used to ride our bicycles up and down and around. We weren't supposed to be there on private property because homeless men hung out there. In groups we were safe, or so we felt. At the very NW corner of 107 Ave and 142nd Street was a Dominion grocery store. And Mac was built around the time I went to Ross Shep. I lived east of 142nd Street, actually quite nearby. We were probably neighbours and never knew, until now.
Barbara,
Edmonton was a new division called Lawson Heights (or was that Saskatoon). Hmm. Wait I don't remember. There have been so many cities and so many addresses, they sort of blur into one another. I'll have to think.
Really like the Champlain history bits, btw.
Tschuess,
Chris
