    Robert R. Blondin

    Born in 1949, the youngest of 12, in Callander, Ontario, Canada. I moved to Toronto, Ontario, in 1968, worked in law enforcement (as a civilian) and retired in 1999.Each day is a blessed day, a creative day, the ability to write, to paint, to sing and to share, is a gift, no matter how good or bad the end result might be.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
