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...

If I were a penguin

During courtship, a male penguin will find the smoothest pebble to give to a female as a gift.

And I would grind a granite mountain into a polished thumb of rock for you to hold in the palm of your hand. 

In return, all I would ask is to be able to hang onto that scent that you carelessly leave in your blouse.

It is the scent that lingers in your curls when I kiss your cheek.
