Today's Sketch. On the train home from Montreal last week, this interesting looking guy was sitting opposite me. He spoke very little English, and I have very limited capability conversing in French. I noticed he was reading a book about Louis Cyr, a very well known carnival strongman from Quebec (circa 1910). Needless to say he was delighted that I knew who Louis Cyr was and we chatted in broken english/french all the way back to Ottawa. It took a Quebec strongman to cross the cultural divide. I really enjoyed the trip home. I need to put some effort into learning more French this year.
