I asked my hubby about the quote (I haven't many available brain cells left, sigi) and he said Google it, which I think would be cheating. So my guess is Mr. Cohen. He could have phrased that. I give.
I didn't realize what a pain in the *ss the US was to Canada for years until I read Margaret Atwood, and once saw her speak on the tele. Not that I adore her writing, but what a wit. Yes. I saw her go head to head with Tom Wolf(e), and
found her dazzling. She really could see something he could not, at least during the interview. Oh yes. This was when Mr. Wolf had made some assenine claim about how journalism is to be done.Then I did go to Quebec and folks were very lovely and it was beautiful and then I opened my mouth and out came English. Oops. Not so friendly :( Oh well.
My crazy grandmother, rest her soul, was English and raised in Montreal. I still say
icebox and tinfoil because of her.How was supper. It promised to be joyous and dreamy. And fun, too.
If the accupuncturist was like Mr Wolf, did he endured the barbs with an
ignorant and self-satisfied air? Or was he an alright guy after all? (How very *American* of me to ask such an evaluative question.)The world is a wicked and silly place.
