Nova Scotia

is the beginning of the rest of the world.

It could be an Arcadia.

It was once.

It was Acadie.

I met a woman tonight.

Who is a Valley Baptist.

And she and I sat in a bar.

Uncomfortably.

That I, of course, had picked.

But we had a good chat.

We are all the same, us women in the office.

That's what I love about this job.

It's just a pile of women on a big floor of an office building.

And if I am anything.

Which I have never yet even believed that i could be.

But if i were

despite myself

i would be a leader of women

because that is the hardest job in the world.

and anyone who can do it

whether they are female or male or not sure

has my total respect.
