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...

When last I held you...

Angel,


When last I held you the trees had not yet greened. Oh, there was promise on the limbs – hints of young pale green buds and thin barked lengthening of limbs...


When last I held you the earth still still held cold beneath our feet and held the scent of ice though the breezes warmed.


When last I held you the arc of the sun was still low but the days were lengthening. Though the strength of the sun grew our shadows still angled long before us under a thin blue sky. We embraced the warmth and the promise of more to come...


When last I held you we discovered excellent pizza and cold beer in a strange town... Serendipity follows our footsteps...


When last I held you we gave ourselves to each other freely...


When last I held you we opened up to be us. We were brave enough to be us...


When last I held you we were happy


The Man in the Station
