"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

Meantimes, in the last two weeks my brother and I got Tom out of the house and into a plane for Botswana, wrote some PR for the local church, reunited with the family for my grandmother's memorial service (NYT), then Misha returned to Vanier College and we welcomed a new housemate, Sachiko, into our home.* My grandmother's death was more sudden than expected, which meant that while we were sorry to not have shared last words with her, we are all very thankful that she died peacefully and comfortably. She was a great woman and a wonderful grandmother, and I miss her a lot. Thanks to those who sent condolences. Rebecca (my mom) will arrive from PA at the end of this week with my grandfather, who will spend a month in Montreal fixing up her place and preaching. We look forward to seeing them both again.
