April 11: Let sleeping giants lie



I wake up to sunlight silhouetting the Sleeping Giant, lying in Lake Superior. I have a bit more time than usual-- I work in the next time zone. Even crippled by a broken ankle, Louise is as gracious a host as ever. Instead of eating one of her legendary breakfasts, I make scrambled eggs for the both of us. She cuts up my grapefruit supreme style and bake cheesy scones without exiting her wheelchair. I pick up a few groceries and head out on a 2 hour commute to Atikokan. My temporary vehicle is a spunky yellow Jeep Wrangler. I will have fun with my rented wheels this week.
