Snowy-day thoughts
Ah, the snow. So easy on the eyes.
For my work, I have been given the interesting assignment of putting together a list of "CanLit trivia you can use to impress your friends at parties".

I'm amazed at how willing they are to share their arcane and not-so-arcane knowledge, and I'm learning some funny and weird stuff along the way.
I am gathering this for an event on Feb. 24th, and after that's over I will post the list here.
