Christmas season in Mexico
We biked past this home in Nuevo Vallarta, which was decked out for the season. 
- Our hotel lobby in downtown Puerto Vallarta. Poinsettias are indigenous to Mexico and proliferate in holiday displays.
Will and I spent most of November in Puerto Vallarta and enjoyed the build-up to Christmas.

I loved visiting Calgary’s new Central Library today, along with the estimated crowd of 20,000 – 25, 000 people. The building is fabulous. The guided tour helped me appreciate many of the library’s features. I can’t wait to go back, when it’s less crowded and quieter.
New Central Library
My short story "When a Warm Wind Blows Off the Mountain" fills the cabinet in the left rear. 
- The Great Reading Room, Calgary Central Library
I look forward to visiting Calgary’s new Central Library tomorrow. A host of events will take place during the day, with free public transit to downtown from 7:00 am to 7 p.m. I’ll be sure to check out my story in art form featured with 12 other artist books on the 4th floor in the NW Vestibule entrance to the Great Reading Room.
To support this exhibition, there will be a year’s worth of programming the second Tuesday of every month in the BMO Room from 7-8pm beginning January 15, 2019 with Kate Baillies and Weyman Chan. My artist Sylvia Arthur and I will be there on August 13th to talk about our collaborative project.
Walking with Wordsworth
Today I write about my trip to England’s Lake District, home of William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and their fellow Romantic Poets, on the Books We Love author blog.
