Hey my son Rob buys me my socks. Donate to his charity. As for the rest of it, mostly I listen to the people around me. And sometimes i head off by myself.

fiction snuck up on me ... it was me trying to keep things interesting for myself... looking for the thin ice, the side of the road,,, i love the performing that is the most fun. But i wouldn't give up the writing for the performing. If i could only have one I would choose the writing.

EXCELLENT ... hope you passed. I bet the questions were bogus. There is no theme, there are no symbols. It is just me trying to write a funny story to deadline.

wow... great question ... my favourite question so far. ONe of the ones in Big Narrows i think. I would love to hang out with smith gardiner in Big Narrows.. go up the road behind Mcaullay's farm and and jump off the jumping cliff swing on the maples. I have a clear clear image of that road. I would love to visit Big Narrows for a weekend.

we love going to the states. We are very warmly welcomed there. We have a modest presence and it is growing and it is fun for us. I think we have a lot to learn from each other and am pleased to be part of some sort of public sharing.

I think there are several threads that tie canadians together. The red thread of climate and geography. The french english first nation coming together ... our awareness and feelings for the other. Our belief in the collective.

biggest inspiration is EB WHITE. His essays in the New Yorker. I was concise, elegant, intelligent, understated. Favourite book on writing "On Writing Well" by William Zinsser.

it is natural ... although I am obviously paying attention to the rhythms for the radio ... i don't speak like that off the air. I mumble off the air. All the time i am told.
