Not long ago I was at St Michael's hospital for an unlovely mammogram. I came in, for the first time ever, through the old Bond Street entrance, views of which are shown in the photos above.
Walk into this monster downtown hospital through any other door and all you will see is institutional functionality in the spaces and design. Linoleum. Stainless steel. Lucite. Composites of plastic. Amalgams of stone. Plaques commemorating donors. Nothing is pretty for its own sake, not even the flowers.
The hospital is connected with all its parts through labyrinthine hallways no matter what door you come in. So, from now on, I will go in through the Bond Street doors.
Sparky Readers' Poll Results
When asked if they had the chance to live their life again and still spend the time to read Sparky's Funtime Summertime Murder Mystery, 100% of those polled said "yes."
100% of respondents also wondered if there would be more Sparky stories.
Based on this overwhelming response by one billionth of the world's population, there will be more Sparky stories, featuring more fun characters with less complicated personal histories. Also, if the comedy of manners swirling around Sparky goes in its current direction there will be fewer - and perhaps no - mysterious deaths.
(It's not too late to participate in the poll! You can find it here.)
Thanks for reading!
Have a great week!
