Although I love New York, I can’t stand the fact that I’m unable to buy the Toronto Star here! So there’s no way for me to know if my article (about “Velia, Dear”, and how it’s set in Toronto the Good ) appears in the print edition of the Star today — in the Living section. I know that it’s available to read on line, and you can go to it here.
It’s written by Toronto Star writer Nicole Baute, who was kind enough to call me up last Wednesday, interview me, and listen to me whine about how much I miss my hometown Toronto.
Anyway, to any new readers of “Velia, Dear”… welcome. I really hope you enjoy it.
I’ll be posting more later… and maybe whine some more about how I miss ol’ Hogtown.
Yes, it is in the paper – on pages 1 and 5 of the “Entertainment and Living” section, which brought me here!
Hey, thanks for letting me know, Renae!
My brother made a point of contacting me today to mention your article in the print edition of the Star. He also sent me the link to this site, which I promptly bookmarked.
P.S. Ages ago and in another dimension, you and I both worked in a little booth at the corner of Yonge and Dundas. I found you hilarious then, and I’ve always been so happy for you that you were able to find success in your true calling (which was NOT selling half-price show tickets to tourists, although you did a damn fine job of that, too).
Ha Ha!! Jenni! Wow — it took me a moment….
Thanks for writing in! How can I forget the booth at Yonge + Dundas (no longer there)…
Yes, it really was another dimension. Maybe I’ll have the inspiration to blog about it someday soon…
I hope you keep reading Jenni!
Thanks again for the PAST BLAST. ha!
