It's a gorgeous day out there in London, Ontario. Supposed to be even nicer tomorrow. ¶ Where we live there are some very cool independent small businesses. There are quite a few Greek-Canadian diners in the neighborhood and my new favourite is a place called High Lunch (533 Dundas Street). A 1950s or 60s-era 7-up sign welcomes you, and inside there is a mix of film posters and family pictures. It has an open kitchen smack dab in the middle of the place and there are stools that pepper the perimeter. I had the equivalent of a Quarter-pounder with cheese, except here it was made by the proprietor herself, and it was delicious. An old boy, likely her father, hangs out at the diner, helping here and there, and his presence is very familiar to me. I don't go every day, but when I do go, I feel very good. ¶ Down the street is the home to the Evil Dead Society, a comic-book and toy store called Worlds Away. I picked up a comic called Damned #1 (of 5). It's illustrated and lettered by Brian Hurtt. It's written by Cullen Bunn. I'm savouring it, reading just a few panels at a time, but so far, it's excellent.
