December 29: Desert in the city


I wander through the quiet downtown core to the Princess of Wales Theatre. The skyscrapers must be quite empty as workers take time to spend with family.


I, and about 2000 others, have tickets to see “Priscilla Queen of the Desert”. Bright colours, catchy tunes, brilliant set design, and well choreographed numbers are packaged up perfectly for a spectacular production. I walk out humming “I Will Survive”.


I zip up to North York on the subway to see an old friend, Kevin, whom I met 22 years ago when I moved to Montreal. The last time we had a good chat was 15 years ago! Facebook reconnected us a few weeks ago. This makes sense as Kevin is one of the most socially connected persons I know. Sure enough, we have a mutual friend, Sue, whom I know through the Red Cross. We have a lot of catching up to do.
