Just time for a quick entry today, but I wanted to say thanks to those of you who've been posting comments on this blog. It's fun to know that even with the many things we all have to do, we're making time to read people's blogs. Darinka Popovic, teacher-librarian at Rockheights Middle School in Victoria, B.C., shared an interesting memory about clotheslines (she doesn't share my fondness for them, however!). I've also had feedback from students I've met in the last few weeks on school visits -- so thanks to you Victoria, Joy and Lawrence. Lawrence, who's a student at Westmount High in Montreal, is a blogger himself. I checked out his blog last night and found it pretty interesting, especially when he gets personal.

Another blogger who's been staying in touch with me via this blog is fellow writer Anita Daher, who lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We got our first snow in Montreal this week, but from what I understand, Winnipeg's already seen plenty of winter. Anita's latest book is called Two Foot Punch and it's published by Orca Books.
