A little bit of everything...

This page will hopefully be an eclectic collection of facts and opinions, observations and anecdotes, ideas fully formed and ideas undiscovered, with useful diagrams, colorful illustrations, life-like sketches, and perhaps some day even watercolors. Perhaps new pages will be formed on the side navigation bar, but if not, this is the place to comment on North American, construct a list of notable Canadian authors, offer a description of your favorite American President, provide favorite quotations.

The Romans had a wonderful expression for this idea. (They seemed to have a word for everything!) They called it //et cetera//, "and the rest of such things."

So, here it is: //&c//. or if you prefer: //etc.//
