1 October 2023 – Both on offer, as I walk my “Cambie loop,” to salute this first day of a new month.
The crimson flare on my favourite H-frame hydro pole, as its ivy obeys the seasonal imperative…
the flair of hand-chalked hearts, guiding cyclists off the official Quebec St. bike path and into an alley alternative…
and the flair of the cyclist-turned-pianist on Spyglass Place, who drops his bike to favour us all — pedestrians, bench-sitters and dragon-boaters out there in the Creek — with some ragtime on the public piano.
The music is a double delight. One, he’s good at it; two, yay, the piano is back for the first time since COVID.
