Around the same time last year, the Canadian Womans soccer team were competing against the US in a final match in Calgary. I broke up with Christie. I bought John a PS2 with Virtua Fighter. John’s cousin was at the cottage with his dragon tattoo half finished and half payed for. John and Julia were going out. I hadn’t adopted Dolly yet. I had no job and no school.

I am still reading Moby Dick.
