Cathy and I entered, after knocking reverentially, into the workshop of a Tlingit artist. Here are his totem poles in progress. When we entered the workshop I heard the strains of "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" playing on the artist's boombox. That was my Dad's all-time favourite song. This "coincidence" did not surprise me in the least, since earlier that day, on our shopping expedition, hummingbirds kept confronting me, the hummingbird being for me, my Dad -- but that's a whole other story.
