I wanted to end the year on a lighter note because there has
been so much depressing news in the headlines, so I will share a short true
story of something that made me smile recently. Memorial University has been exploding with an intake of
international students, which has really improved the quality of life in St.
John's. I was in the hot tub
discussing the change of culture in the city with, what I believe, to be an
Israeli professor of French and Spanish.
We chatted for a while and then went on our separate ways. I was getting ready to shower and
reached down into my gym bag to grab a towel and I noticed that the talkative
professor has put his watch on top of my towel. With a sigh I resolve to try and return his watch before he leaves
the men's change room. I figured I
could just stick my arm through with the watch in my hand and remain discretely
behind the door. No such luck. Sure enough, right on cue the guy opens
the door and discovers me sheepishly holding his watch. He takes the watch and says to me,
"don't worry, it's not as if a breast is a weapon of mass
destruction." We both share a
laugh and continue our day – with our clothes on.
