Really love the mood, and temperature you've captured here. I've been going to Ottawa every other year for an animation festival since 1996. Though it's in the Fall I imagine the weather is somewhat like the Spring, only going in reverse. There's a melancholy feeling to the city, and for me its a pleasure to spend a week in a place where police sirens and gunshots aren't the background white-noise. Great ending lines.Thanks for posting.

Write more Ottawa girl, write more. Your last entry was 2004, its almost 2006, there's a lot of soul to be put to paper in that time.

I love all of your work, it all seems...down-to-earth, I guess. I'm not sure how to describe it. Real...? You're an excellent writer.
