The Bookless Club: A guest bedroom can leave you in the crosshairs of expert freeloaders. It can become a public amenity.
Sunrise presented by Vancouver Sun
For a short while, I lived in Boca Raton, Florida. For a couple of years, I lived in Greenwich, Connecticut. Boca Raton lured with relentless sun, while Greenwich is a bedroom community to the playground that is Manhattan. Our guest room was a popular destination. We were wildly popular. A quick finger count reveals that we had close to two dozen guests during these few years. Some of these guests were ideal. Some of them I smothered in their sleep and buried in the backyard.
The ones who only ate non-GMO chia seeds with oat milk, but who had failed to mention this. The ones who would make themselves Reuben sandwiches and leave sauerkraut, corned beef, mustard and frying pans on the counter waiting for the kitchen fairy to clean up. The one who made popcorn at three in the morning — Oh, did I wake you?! — explaining something about jetlag and time zones. The ones who took half-hour showers and who were disappointed the towels weren’t organic cotton.
• I was in Grade 7 at Lord Kitchener in Dunbar. I had a friend who was moving and she had a rooster named Charlie who needed a new home. I asked my parents if Charlie could come and live with us and they said yes.
