That's a nice dad!
Cycled out to the closest "Winners" outlet (aka "losers") at the corner of Pie-IX (Pee-neuf) and Jean-Talon. Found a nice route up on Villeray, away from the very busy streets. Needed exercise, but was looking for footless leggings, like dancers wear. Winners has great deals on such vaguely "athletic" items when they have them, but cripes, what a mess the store is. A jumble of sizes and items, and stuff strewn everywhere. I did find a nice purple - or violet - sweater in a fine cotton rib with little cables every other rib - the kind of thing one needs to look half-way dressed up, when it is necessary, without being remotely uncomfortable - at a very modest cost. Nice deep V.
I hesitated for half an hour. Cripes, I hate spending money. Better than the opposite, I guess.
