My wonderful Canyon Sands Bookclub

It was so much fun seeing people again and we had a good discussion about a memorable character.  I decided to do Alex from A Clockwork Orange since there is at least the DVD of the film in a local library here although not the book.  There wasn't the book or the DVD of the film of The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz....not surprising as it's rather old and pretty much known only to Canadians.

As usual,  Kathy had saved all the materials she had handed out at the sessions I missed along with a couple of articles from magazines on Canada and Victoria.  So, this morning it was delightful to read about the Dinesty Dumpling House on Robson which was about a 10 minute walk from where we recently lived. We often walked up on chilly days for their very special hot and sour soup.  And to see Bill Reid’s wonderful Jade Canoe that we enjoy every time we go through the Vancouver Airport.
