For someone who considers her typical days to be fairly mundane, it does seem I’ve got quite a soft spot for all things unconventional. I’d trace this penchant for the eccentric back to my grade six art class with Miss Tarnofsky. Miss T (we all thought it should stand for “Terror”) was the strictest, most […]
