"I remember being on a frigid Canadian ski trip with my family and going to dinner at a rollicking fondue restaurant that had Michael Ritchie’s great-looking 1969 Robert Redford vehicle, Downhill Racer, showing silently on an endless loop. We must have eaten there a couple of times because I remember this flick much more than the miserable week spent skiing icy Mont-Tremblant."

""Ernest Thompson Seton was a ranger on the Canadian Prairie and a very competent artist. He drew lots of illustrations of these animals that he knew and there were also – along the outer margins of the text – there were footprints, so you could imagine yourself tracking these things. And the animals were personified to the extent that I could give you their names now.""

"No one today can fathom not being able to just click on their phones for a bit of debauchery. Way back when, there was nothing! National Geographic had the odd nude shot. As a red-blooded Canadian teenager I remember stumbling upon this book on the cottage book shelf. Everything about it was steamy. I loved it. Too much info, I know I know."
