I packed another box this evening. I hope to pack many more tomorrow.
I learned this week that I was 2nd on the Housing list. That may be lowered if someone with a more urgent need for housing comes in, but it's still way better than being lower on the list.
This doesn't mean I won't possibly have a long wait ahead of me; one of my friends was #1 on the list for a year and a half. I likely still have a decent amount of time to pack. Still, on the off chance that something becomes available in the near future, I have to get ready.

I first learned of Mordecai Richler from the film version of his novel The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. From there, I often saw him as the voice of Montreal Jewish culture.
In his later years he became the terror of sovereignists, blazing the federalist trail and publicly denouncing the crimes against Anglophone culture.
He will be greatly missed.

I phoned my uncle to pass on my regrets on my aunt dying.
(They're family friends, but as close to us as family)
He could barely keep his emotions in check; like you could, losing your wife!
