Yesterday in observance of Canada Day I began reading "A Romance on Three Legs: Glenn Gould's Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Piano," a biography of the famous pianist written by Katie Hafner. What a fascinating character he was, and what a well-written book this is.

And last evening I listened to some of the concert in Ottawa on CBC Radio (which I have on most of the time, anyway). Lots of good music and fine performers..

Toward the end the Barenaked Ladies did a set. In their song "If I had a million dollars," the lead singer at one point mentioned a colony of feral cats in the area and said "What other country takes care of a colony of feral cats around its Capitol?"

O CANADA!
