About
I heard Alanis Morrissette’s song Hand in My Pocket when I visited Canada in 1996. I'm intrigued by songs that we remember in spite of ourselves. When Alanis sings I'm short but I'm healthy, I'm high but I'm grounded I think of Greg Oh biking to NYC. I do hope that everything's going be fine, fine, fine.
