Catie Simmons waits out the postponement by reading her favourite Shakespeare play. (Which reminds me of a joke I have always loved: A lady steps out of a limousine in front of Toronto's elegant Royal York Hotel when a homeless man asks her for a dollar for a cup of coffee. Looking disdainfully down her nose at him, she replies: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be, William Shakespeare." To which the bum responds: "F... off! Henry Miller." Actually, the best part of this memory, is that shortly after this joke was told to me by a colleague in my first year of teaching high school, there was a knock on my classroom door. When I opened the door, a student was there. "Sir," he said, "Mr. Funke sent me down with a message for you: Henry Miller."
