I realize that by using the term “chit-chat”, I’ve possibly belittled what this group has come to mean to me. ![]() I hope the readers around the table with me today felt the same way. The refreshingly robust manner in which our group resisted – stayed true to what the group is about – did my heart and brain immense good. ![]() Suddenly, we seemed to realize we did not want to stray down that path – and we rapidly got back on the intended path. Our normally book-focused chit-chat strayed – innocuously at first – into the seemingly unavoidable state of the world today, including commentary on the latest shenanigans coming from the country to our south (aka the elephant next to which Canada sleeps). Some have been contending with the colds, flus and other ailments of the season, and all have been contending with the ever-changing and treacherous weather and how it permeates everyone’s moods, energy and ambition.Īs we were settling around our table (so nicely adorned now with a “Reserved For Book Club” sign – thanks, Press!), removing coats and scarves and layers, setting out our books, beverages and treats, an interesting thing happened. Particularly warm kudos are in order this month to the silent book club members who made it through the February cold and over the snowy, slippery streets to our bookish oasis. ![]()
