Happy to be Canadian
Each week I share a short original story about life in rural Canada. There are moments of nostalgia and other times when you will be wondering what will happen next. Some episodes are poignant, some are funny, others are insightful. All are short. With episodes under 10 minutes, you have just enough time to finish your coffee or tea while you enjoy a memorable story.

Episode 37. This is something different. It is a short excerpt from a longer historical fiction piece that I am writing.
It is based on the true exhumation of the largest skeleton of mastodon that happened near my home in southwestern Ontario in 1890. There are an interesting cast of characters and the outcome is beyond anyone's imagination. This story occurs as the bones are put on display for the first time in Shelburne, Ontario in May 1890.
Let me know what you think.
