#Yearof50: Entry 1: Hello

 

So, 2021 is the year I turn 50 and I thought it would be fun to put together a selection of key moments of the journey so far in a little exhibition called #Yearof50. It’s not really about me so much as moments that mean a lot to me.

So please indulge me as I rummage through the past and bring up some memories that are the mile posts of the road so travelled. And please share your own memories too.

Ahem, so the first entry is this little fella that I assume is hanging out in a park in Ottawa somewhere around 1975 (I’m counting on my mom, Jackiline Hodgins, to let me know). This is one of my favourite moments because it reminds me of my mom, summer, Jiffy Pop, learning to ride a bike, and Janice Joplin, Styx, and Joe Cocker blaring out on vinyl.
