March 27, 1990



Thirty years ago today

It was the eleventh day of my water fast and my father's birthday.
In the morning at work I was about to leave for Brampton with GG when Bob opened the door on my side of the truck to tell me, “And tomorrow, change your pants!”
I asked why.
He said, “Because those look so horrible! You look like something off of Queen Street! I was gonna send you out with Norm today but I couldn't let you go down to the premier's office with those rags on! If you wear those pants tomorrow I'm sending you home!” and then he walked away.
GG and I worked at the courthouse in Brampton.
I wasn't going to change my pants.
I sewed them up as best as I could that night, but I doubted it would help.
