Afterthoughts


This picture was taken on September 11th. Ben and I had just come out of "Afterthoughts", a wicked dessert place in Abbotsford. I had the Vancouver Cheesecake, if you're wondering, with chocolate, caramel and whipped cream. Anyway, it was a day of "afterthoughts". It was September 11th, so New York and most of the USA was in memorial mode.

It was also the end of the first week of teaching for me, so it was in a moment of celebration that we (the whole family) went out for cheesecake (and mousse, or moo-is, for Ben).

It was also a day in which I introduced the novel 1984 to a new batch of Grade 12 students, and realized that I would once again be the bearer of the mantle of healthy skepticism for a group of largely apathetic teens.

It was also a beautiful day that ended with such a comfortably warm evening that one would be hard-pressed to believe there was anything wrong with the world.

Afterthoughts. All of them.
