Bowling

By Mitchell R. McGill

silhouette of a woman bowling. She is seen from behind, just after releasing the ball down the lane. The image is black and white.

My in-laws are avid bowlers. We visit them out west each year and usually work in a trip to the lanes while there. This is a picture of my mother-in-law. I have similar photos of my father-in-law and my kids too, but none of them are quite as graceful as her.

Bench

I recently visited Montreal and was thrilled to see some really neat pieces of architecture and sculpture. One of them was this stool/bench by the road near McGill University. The perfect place for any student or avid reader.
