After being discharged from hospital recently, an arrangement was made for a visiting nurse to come to my apartment. The first time the nurse arrived, she stepped into my entry hall, saw my Leonard Cohen wall grouping and in a loud voice....
How the hell do you know Leonard Cohen?
She originally lived in Montreal where she trained as a nurse. "I left Montreal in the big exodus from Quebec in 1979."
Did you know Leonard Cohen personally? I asked.
Everyone in Montreal knew who Leonard Cohen was.
I get such a thrill every
time I pass by this wall.

In 1979, the Quebec government made public its constitutional proposal in a white paper entitled Québec-Canada: A New Deal. The Québec Government Proposal for a New Partnership Between Equals: Sovereignty-Association. The province-wide referendum took place on Tuesday, May 20, 1980, and the proposal to pursue secession was defeated by a 59.56 percent to 40.44 percent margin. (Wikipedia)
I love it Arlene! A tough nurse from Montreal saying

Too funny Arlene! Your tasteful wall arrangement makes me feel guilty for stopping at one autographed 8X10 of him. You have lit a fire under me to do something similar to yours - well done!
