Everything is BIGGER in British Columbia
My sister Kitty and I recently traveled to British Columbia to celebrate the life of my uncle Cyril Finnegan. He was a great man who—aside from being a beloved professor at U.B.C. —was also the patriarch of a large über race of super-human Finnegans. They all seem to be very tall, (not to mention gorgeous, smart, and witty). Lilliputians Kitty and I did our best to fit in.

Turned out it was actually from my boyfriend’s old cell phone in the closet five feet from my bed.
