Tino and his Jesus Bag
So I was actually in Victoria for a conference on co-op housing. There were many many hours of workshops on legal matters and how to read financial statements, an all-day business meeting, and plenty of networking events. There were lots and lots of fifty- and sixty-somethings who were the first to establish the co-op movement back in the 70s and 80s.
Just as I was starting to despair that Kirsten and I were the youngest and hippest people in the entire organization, who should we meet but a funny young guy from Calgary, Tino. We all three wisecracked our way through a workshop on finances, then decided to go for lunch together. First, though, Tino wanted to go and buy a souvenir for some girl, so he dragged us all over the downtown area in search of a "Jesus bag". Then he went on and on about all the crazy fun times we were going to have, inviting us to hit the clubs etc. And when we finally got to the pub for lunch, he grabbed hold of my camera and proceeded to get silly with it. It was a while before I could get it back and tuck it safely into my pocket.
His head is blurry because he never stopped talking!
