Do You Really Want to Read That?. Top Story - October 2023.
I seem to have missed something very important. You have noticed that my other pieces this week have been stories about the shenanigans – a wonderful word, I think – in both Canada and the United States with the Speakers of our respective Houses (ours was chosen after a quick vote; the one down south does not really exist yet, and may not exist for quite some time). I commented to a reader of my piece on how the Republican Party seems to be akin to a pack of dogs that are just on the edge of becoming feral. This is fair. My other work involved poetry, a short story, but also, I decided to repost two particular pieces about this week’s other big news: the Nobel Prizes. Physics, Chemistry and Medicine have been covered so far, and this article will be published after the prize for Literature is handed out on Thursday…unless there is another delay as there was in the year that Bob Dylan became a laureate. Anything is possible (Jon Fosse anyone?)

The Teacher Who Changed My Life
I was in the eighth grade when I first met Mr. Johnson. Tall and bespectacled, he had an aura of authority that commanded respect from all his students. His classroom, however, was more than just a place for academic learning; it was a sanctuary where dreams took flight and lives were forever changed.
