Weekend Happenstances

dewlineI bought a new winter jacket and considered trying to get one of the older ones I have - a five-year-old one that I particularly like and want to keep using - repaired. A matter of a zipper and a button replacement, really.
Books I read for the first time on the weekend: Featuring the Saint by Leslie Charteris, and The Comeback by John Ralston Saul. The former being a collection of 1930's short stories featuring...who else?...and the latter being a continuation of Mr. Saul's thinking on Canadian/First Nations relations, noting what he sees as an ongoing revival of the First Nations' fortunes in modern times. I don't think he's wrong about that.
I went to the Small Press Book Fair, but as a visitor, not a publisher/writer/artist this time. Been feeling too worn down over the last while for that. Pictures were taken, things were purchased, and conversations were had. None were regretted.
Also, I've started looking at winter gift shopping (whatever each of us calls the Season) and making choices.
More as it occurs to any of us...
