This morning, a part of myself, died. As I awoken to the news that Gord Downie had passed away from glioblastoma (brain cancer), at the age of 53. Just 6 years older than I am. Upon hearing this, I broke down and cried for several minutes, holding Venus, my oldest Queen, to my chest. One way or another, the Tragically Hip have been part of my life, since 1991, when my then roommate introduce me to them, as we were both students at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Just before they released Fully Completely. Hard to believe 26 years have passed since then.

A historic moment, as Canada enters the 21st century with the federal government announcing it's introducing gender neutral passports for its citizens like Australia and New Zealand does, with the holder being able to select male, female, or 'x' for other as their gender selection. Replacing the old passport policy, which a transperson could only get a temporary passport in their chosen gender, if they were to have SRS done within a two year period and needed a doctor's note to accompany it, stating this. The new passport policy comes into effect August 31, 2017.

In two days time, I am posting the final and sixth part of The Doll. A poetic short story I wrote six years ago. In my poetic morgue, I have several other sentimental stories likes this, if you want to read them, please leave a message, saying so.

In the 10+ years, I have been writing poetry, creating and finding the right title, for me, has been very hard. Often, I am forced, to wait, until the very end, before attempting to come up, with the right title. Will admit, I have many poems that are left, bearing the title of untitled, when I post them, to my poetry blog. So, how do I come up, with a proper title, when I am writing a serial story/novel, and want to post the various chapters, here? Would love any possible solution or answer, you may have.
