I’m vain. Today I went to the Cote St Luc Public Library to have a photo taken of me with a copy of my book that I donated to the library. I’m sitting in front of the section where it will be shelved.

A few years ago I came across Duet Display, a program that runs in iOS and Windows. It allows you to use your iPad as a second display. When I don’t feel like working in my office I can work in our dinining room and have the larger viewing surface of two screens. Highly recommended.

I donated a copy of my book to my city’s, Cote St Luc, library. Went to their web site to see if it has been cataloged and discovered that someone has checked it out.

It’s another snow storm day. We had one on Thursday and reached 30cm. Today we should exceed 40cm. It’s coming down at more than 2cm an hour and has been since early morning. It’s -7C now. Here is our bird feeder with a female cardinal at the top.
