Last Saturday afternoon I walked the six blocks to King Edward Boulevard, took the #25 bus to Cambie Street, then the Canada Line downtown.
At Main Street a young woman boarded the bus with a shrink-wrapped edition of Big Boggle.
I noted the purchase and, eyebrows high, was noticed noticing.
"I know -- Big Boggle!" said the young woman excitedly, giving the box a shake. "I've been looking for this for ages!"
As I listened to ourselves exchange Boggle stories I noticed the man to her right, who had boarded the bus behind me. In the eighteen blocks between Knight and Cambie he had applied and absorbed three huge squirts of hand cream.
