Spent most of today just walking and practing guitar...that's all...and enjoying the sun. Gorgeous late summer weather here in Montreal. Really love the Sunday brunch at Eaux Vives ( a vegan restaurant- I'm not vegan, but it's great). Oh, and I wrote a song, "In a Sense", which is a bit odd, but you know, so am I.

Supposedly there's going to be a ceasefire in Lebanon. But Israel, which has defined its entire campaign as being a "defensive" attack on Hezbollah's military capabilities, says that while of course it agrees to the ceasefire, it reserves the right to launch further "defensive" attacks on Hezbollah's military capabilities (which have so far been defined rather broadly, to put it charitably). Meanwhile, Hezbollah, which has defined its activities as being "resistance" against Isreali attack, says it will abide by the ceasefire, but....it reserves the right to continue resisting Israel's presence in Lebanon.

Somehow I don't hold out much hope for this ceasefire. Man, I hope I'm wrong...
