Just catching my breath
October is a busy time. Lots of work, little time for play. A few blocks away from where I work a 17 year old kid got killed when he was caught in the crossfire of a gang war. Since it happened, the politicians and the police have vowed to crack down on the gangs in this inner-city, one of the poorest in Canada.
Some are bemoaning the fact that it took a nice kid from a private school getting killed to attract the attention of the cops to our little corner, and there's probably some truth to that. There's lots of bad stuff that happens around here, but at the time there's a lot of bad stuff that happens in the suburbs, too. Either way, it's a little disconcerting.
In the meantime, I just keep on keeping on, being glad that CBC is back on the air and listening to the ball game on the web.
