HI Tom. I'd love to, but am available only on the 20th. I have a thesis defense on line running over lunch on the 21st, then am in Sherbrooke for a conference 22-25th. It's my busiest week of the term (though I'm retired.) Will you be here at lunch on the 20th? Would be great to see you.

Canadian food and hospitality industry magazines (1952-1971)
Click image to enlarge. Issue date is in image file name.
Last week, I acquired a collection of 175 Canadian restaurant and hospitality industry magazines from the years 1952-1971. I'll donate them to a food studies research centre, but, in the meantime, I did a quick gallery of the covers.

Scene of Crime • Jamie Jelinski
A big congratulations to my friend and former post-doc Jamie Jelinski, for this very interesting look at how transit systems document graffiti and the bureaucratic means by which they do so.

Döden er et kjaertegn (Death is a Caress), the 1949 Norwegian film by Edith Carlmar, is often considered the first film noir directed by a woman. Tonight we watched a 1953 film by Carlmar, Ung Frue Forsvunnet (A Young Woman Missing), a very good drama about drug addiction.
