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...

Getting Old

Angel,


You worry about getting old. I don’t care. It is irrelevant and let me tell you why. 

When I sat beside you I had to keep reminding myself to not stare at you. I had to keep reminding myself to keep my feet on the ground so that I would not float above the ground.

I do not know what magic it is that you possess that breaks the laws of physics; changing gravity and warping time.

You can stretch a moment into a slow motion span that lasts forever and you can shrink hours into the blink of an eye.

You can make a man float about the earth when with you and you draw people closer to you. You create your own gravity.

Being beside you, gravity has no normal hold and time has no meaning. 


There is no getting old in a world that has you in it.


Just me.
