Get it, Got it, Good: February 2015
http://pattylesser.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Get it, Got it, Good. Wednesday, 4 February 2015. I lived in Israel for five years and travelled twice to Egypt. While there, I saw that hate. Nothing I could say would change their minds about me. I was Jewish and a Israeli. I didn't deserve to live. After a month at the factory, the fact that I was Jewish got out. It meant nothing to everyone but my Jordanian friend. He never spoke to me again. The Israeli ambassador and the Minister of the Diaspora would like. The Hatikva on Youtube. I understand my m...

Get it, Got it, Good: August 2014

Get it, Got it, Good. Wednesday, 27 August 2014. As they say, "Everyone knows someone who has been touched by cancer." Well, I've been very lucky. No one in my family has ever been inflicted with cancer. As far as friends go in my past, they were all free of cancer. And then, my friend Yoko developed breast cancer. Last year she had her lymph nodes removed and we were hoping that she was cured. Well, the operation was a complete success and Yoko recovered quickly. She never felt much if any pain and ...

Get it, Got it, Good: September 2014

Get it, Got it, Good. Monday, 22 September 2014. The People I Meet at Signings. I've figured out that there are basically three types of people I meet at bookstores during a signing event. They are:. 2) the not interested. 3) the too nice. I've had a few fights with older religious women. They tell me I'm going to hell. I told them hell is probably a lot more fun than heaven. This shocks them. Apparently, what I have written is blasphemous. Amazingly enough, at some stores, some of my books are stolen...

Get it, Got it, Good: April 2015
http://pattylesser.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Get it, Got it, Good. Saturday, 18 April 2015. This morning I was fortunate enough to attend a Grit Lit. Event in Hamilton, Ontario. Numerous workshops and readings were available to the public for a small price. I was lucky to spend an hour and a half listening to the Canadian author Richard Wagamese. Since one of my characters in That Truthful Place. Is Ojibway, I provided Richard with a copy. I look forward to any comments he may have. Check out a new Review. Tuesday, 14 April 2015. My backyard is fen...

Get it, Got it, Good: June 2014
http://pattylesser.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Get it, Got it, Good. Wednesday, 4 June 2014. This present season is not just spring but elections in the Province of Ontario. I voted today in the advance polls because that polling station is close, no line-ups, ease, and I know for whom I am voting. The nearby church was is a nice walk from my home which Kira enjoyed of course. The weather was fantastic. I love this time of year. Has been updated. Check out my Appearances. Tab and all the new pictures. Will be changing some of the notations but yo...

Get it, Got it, Good. Saturday, 23 May 2015. Playoff hockey is the best. Hockey is my favourite sport and I love watching it. I'm a big Toronto Maple Leaf fan and yes I admit it. Even though they were third worst in the league, I still say, "There's always next year" as does every other Leaf fan. I just had my backyard sodded. It was a mess and terrible to look at. After discussing it with a friend who owns a contracting business, he offered to do it for me. One of his workers came over and d...The lands...

Get it, Got it, Good: October 2014
http://pattylesser.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Get it, Got it, Good. Friday, 24 October 2014. When my mother studied at university, she met Carol and they became great friends. They travelled Europe together in 956. Amazing eh? After they had married and had children, the two couples decided to buy property on a lake upon north. Carol's sister summered at that lake for many years. Both families stayed with Flora to get to know the lake. Through the years, I made a point of spending time with Flora. I would paddle my canoe over to her place and sp...

Get it, Got it, Good: March 2015
http://pattylesser.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Get it, Got it, Good. Thursday, 26 March 2015. Classes began at the end of February. It's a very interesting situation. After a class, the students spend five to ten minutes in front of the computer on Skype to talk to a volunteer. There are set dialogues to follow but, depending on the level of the student, I ask them a few questions of my own. The ages rang from 13 to 55, both men and woman of varying abilities. Friday, 13 March 2015. Basically, I play maybe four hours. It's my entertainment. I...In th...

Get it, Got it, Good: Restaurants
http://pattylesser.blogspot.com/2015/05/restaurants.html
Get it, Got it, Good. Friday, 8 May 2015. When we were kids, we hardly ever went out for dinner. When we did, it was to celebrate something special. When my parents were kids, they never ate out at restaurants. Well time's have changed. We now go out to dinner quite frequently and it is no longer something special. Well, it's always special to me. I love eating restaurant food and I have a few favourite places in my city. My favourite place is La Luna. Another favourite restaurant is Bangkok Spoon. They ...
