A Day in the Life of Norman Spector




5:30 AM Arose and had coffee with morning newspapers, the New York Times delivered by Kindle. Coffee was usual latte made from green beans hand-picked by Guatemala refugees in the highlands of Colombia, slowly roasted over a Saltspring Island sheep-dung fire. It tastes like shit.

6:37 AM Review all writings of Benjamin Disraeli, Edmund Burke, and Winston Churchill on parliamentary decmocracy. Decide it’s all a threat to national security and redact everything.

7:00 AM Review Speakers’s decision regarding supremacy of parliament. Redact everything. The speaker’s just this guy, you know?

7:15 Send considered opinion to Globe and Mail.

7:18 Walk dog.
