Ernest Miller Hemingway

So Hemingway right:



Well yesterday I ran accross this story at Yahoo, it was about some of Hemingway's friends in Idaho, I was intrigued by this quote:

Tillie Arnold was working at an Idaho mountain resort back in 1939 when she came across an adventurous writer named Ernest Hemingway, who was at the lodge's restaurant eating marinated herring and drinking a beer for breakfast.

"I burst out laughing and said, 'Mr. Hemingway, is that breakfast?'" Arnold wrote in her 1999 book, "The Idaho Hemingway." "He said, 'Yes, daughter. Have some. It's good for the kidneys.'"

I thought, 'Hmmm beer for breakfast that's pretty neat.' so I decided to read a little bit more about his life over at the Wikipedia. So I read his biography there and one of the things that I learnt, that I did not know before, was that after World War I, he moved to Toronto to take a freelance job with the Toronto Star.

So there you have it Hemingway worked and lived in Toronto, a little factoid that I never knew.
