So much for being unique, yesterday Gord and I went out for a mid-day meal with Ruth M. McDonald. No seriously, this is a small language school and there are two of us! Ruth is from Ireland and it was a blast to compare things including how she signs her name, to what our parents are like. When we first arrived at the school I was already signed up for a number of cultural events and was registered in a higher level of French than Gord. It turned out to be the other Ruth. I rarely meet Ruths at all and if I do they are older not younger, but the name must be making a comeback somewhere in the world, because there are now over 200 Ruth McDonalds on Facebook!
