The building inspection goes down on Thursday morning, and Jeff the realtor will set up a Facetime call so I can get the results directly.

Thirty years ago, I would drive that route as you suggest, Stilly, but not now. Despite the cataract surgery of 2015 and the recent laser treatment, my night vision isn’t great, and most of the loooong stretch of Highway 7 from Carleton Place to Peterborough is two-lane blacktop with deep ditches on each side. Much of it goes through bush country, with appearances by the occasional moose or black bear. Not doin’ that in the dark, no way.

If I took the 401 all the way from Kitchener to the 416 junction near Prescott, I would get no relief from the traffic even in the small hours of the morning; it rolls like the tide, 24 / 7 / 365.

Sandra, singers are musicians, too. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
