Have landed at Trudeau Airport in Montréal, and am waiting for a connecting flight to Halifax at 14h45 in the expectation of arriving in Fredericton at 20h30, to take-over for my poor sister and cousine. Haven't slept properly since the Friday before last, which leaves me struggling to stay awake on the plane so that my ears don't pop and these ears of mine don't end-up deafer than ever. Also haven't eaten properly in four or five days, but did just have an overpriced cranberry muffin and a banana at an airport Second Cup, so things are looking up!

Tangentially, I sometimes wonder how many dry, ironic Irish so-and-so's Buddhism will be able to accommodate before the sangha reaches its carrying capacity.
