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...

A funny, unexpected thing...

To The Lady on the Train,

Because of you, I found out that I have a voice that I did not know that I possessed.

Because of you, I found out that there is a passion that I did not know could exist.

Because of you, I found out a new way of looking at the world around me.

Because of you, I found that one could be found and lost in the same moment.

Because of you, I found out what it's like to be alone with another while standing in the middle of crowd.

Because of you, I found out what an obsession can be.

Of all the unexpected happenings and consequences of knowing you, it is the minor ones that surprise me the most. 

Because of you, I found out that I have a thing for grey curly hair, half tamed and almost wild.

Because of you, I found out that eyes, and freckles, and the feel of a strength beneath soft skin can cause me hold my breath.

Because of you, I found out that I welcome the unexpected.

The Man in the Station.
