Be It Ever So Inconvenient


Mon pays malheureux, mon regard languissant vers toi se portera.

Go figure the human soul, nostalgic for a crowded frozen rock in a frozen river on such a beautiful spring day.

    Missing Montreal in March, though, especially after a snowy winter, is diagnosable.

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.



Err on the side of politesse and understatement please.
