Well,
dear friends, today is a momentous day…
No,
unfortunately it is not that Ridley Scott has contacted me to say he wants
movie rights to my novel (sigh)…
However,
I did receive a communication from Revenue Services Canada. Or, let me modify
that to read that Bill received the communication as the envelope and contents
are addressed to, “William John Hunter”. Said envelope contained my
shiny new Gold Card. (I must suppose that our federal gov’t still holds to “the
little woman” thought-paradigm and sent my CareCard, in care of my husband—they
likely believe I will mistake the shiny gold card for a credit card and run off
shopping.
Yes,
it is only one month away from my official entering “senior hood”.
The
crisp, heavy weight bond paper to which this key to wrinkle hood is attached
contains 4 important points for me to note:
1. Check for correctness (ok – can do)
2.
Sign
the back – (they note that I can have a spouse, guardian, or other responsible
adult sign on my behalf)
3.
Keep
record of my number and store in a safe place
4. Present card at time of service.
II feel as if I now have a large, gold "S" imprinted on my forehead. That’s
it, kiddies, I think I’ll just dodder into the kitchen a make a cup of coffee and
contemplate the one, small benefit…free rides on the ferry.
