[Magdalen] I've been watching

[Marion Thompson]

I've been watching, except for a quick trip down the street to get my 
hair cut.  Apart from having overall heaviness of spirit, the tears I 
have shed all have involved scenes of the Obamas and their endless style 
and grace.  Damn!  What a loss!

I have watched a certain amount of CBC commentary of the same scenes.  I 
am NOT amused by our Min. of Naural Resources unseemly enthusiasm for 
getting various pipelines kicked into action, as it were within the hour.

Marion, a pilgrim
