Maybe it’s sour grapes on my part, but it seems to me that the Leacock Award does not go to the funniest book published in Canada, but the best literary book with some humour in it.
(I appreciate your view, I do believe they expect novels, not humourous manuals or collections, maybe next time)

I did not attend the gala, there were other tasks to do at home. While my son met his favourite author at Yorkdale a while back, I was not able to meet my favourite Canadian author this time around.

Sat with Glen and his entourage, and met Bill. Also met another long lister Bill Pitt. If I attend in June I hope to meet Will who won yesterday (April 29). My next book is already submitted for 2011 competition.
