A Moving Performance

Attended a moving performance by local actors that drew attention to the issue of violence against women. It was of readings from the book A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer, which is edited by Eve Ensler. Performances were on several evenings last week at the Lady of the Lake Cafe. When we attended on Friday, we started the evening with a delicious supper. The performance was free of charge, with donations accepted for The Women’s Resource Centre. Well done, cast members and organizers!

Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Stories

My latest Brandon Sun column was a book review of Jim Sheeler's Obit: Inspiring Stories of Ordinary People Who Led Extraordinary Lives. This column also marks my new location, as I have moved from the Community News Edition to the Op-Ed / Comment page of the daily paper. Read the column.
