His name is George Stroumboulopoulos Wow. Kindergarten must have been interesting for him with a name like that. No wonder he doesn't get intimidated. "He says you should talk to people just like you're having a conversation with someone on the bus." If so blessed, I will talk with Joni like we are in a big yellow taxi... or at Woodstock... or down at the Chinese Cafe... or Underneath the Street Light. And I like Marianne's suggestion to "say what you want." Love, Laura On Sep 16, 2012, at 8:45 AM, Catherine McKay wrote: > There's a guy up here who has a TV show on CBC.
