Windows 2011

Windows may be enjoyed in 2011 and for the forseeable future in the large Jewish General Hospital complex on Cote des Neiges in Montreal. One of my children was born in that hospital. I often pause, while walking up the hill, to contemplate the windows and to imagine what sort of activity is going on inside. Unlike electronic gadgets and software, the hospital bricks survive decades, without yearly updates. There's no need for plugins or addons. It's refreshing to see something so solid, sitting there on the edge of a hill, a place of birth, death, accident and sickness. I often hear ambulances racing along that street, heartache, sorrow and pain. I hope the patients in there soon recover and have peace of mind.
