About this blog

In Toronto, there is a nightly news magazine called T.O. Night aimed at the commuter crowd. One of the
features that it contains is a section called Shout Out where readers can send a short message, rant, note...
to someone, or to anyone...

I started sending Shout Outs to the woman that I am in love with. Not all of them are published in
T.O. Night - and once the magazine is tossed, so too is the shout out...

Here are most of the shout outs that I have submitted - and some of my other writings to
The Lady on the Train...

You...


Angel,

There is much that I want to tell you… to be able to say the right words, in the right way, and at the right time… I wish that I could express myself properly so that you would know exactly how I feel about you. Though my words may be woefully inadequate, I will make the attempt and trust that you will fill in some of the gaps…

I know that you are a bit frightened about today. But I also know that you are better than you give yourself credit for.

I have seen in you strength and determination when you least felt that you had it.
I have seen in you flashes of brilliance and discovery when you weren’t looking for it.
I have seen in you the uncanny ability to turn a disappointment or hurt into something that helped you grow.
I have seen in you the turning from frailty to steel and fire in less than the blink of an eye.

As much as I wish that I could help, ironically, I think it would be a detriment to you.

I have said before, you are a contradiction and a wonderment. I have absolute faith that you will do great today.

You are magic.

Beside you…
Always…

Just me.
