Because it's 2 and I was up after 4 last night watching tennis after the Grand Prix. Oops.

On the train this morning, two people from a publisher I used to work for chatting loudly about someone I vaguely knew.

"Yeah, he's moved from Sydney to San Francisco. So he's gone from the gayest city in the world to the gayest city in the world."

Never a truer word spoken. Back fine, camera bought, cats adorable. More later.

Just butting in to say that Montreal's pretty gay, too, at least in the areas I hang out in (Plateau, Mile End, Outremont, Quartier Latin). I was out with my kids last night and it was just so nice to see lots of couples holding hands, out on dates, etc. Not that it's the job of gay people to enlighten my kids or anything, but you can talk to them as much as you want about these issues and until they see it around them, it's just words. Compared to our white bread, suburban, heteronormative regular life in the States, Montreal is like a vision of what you'd want the world to be (except the winters! Now that I only come here in the summer, I conveniently forget about some years not putting the winter coats away til June).

I hear that! Canada is the Undiscovered Country for me, which is ridiculous since half of my besties are Canadians. I know what you mean, though, there are some things you want kids to see as normal, because the world is a better place if they are.
