Vacation Decided
My next vacation is decided. I had had several contenders for the trip (Laos, Sri Lanka, Chile, Peru and Colombia) and after much indecision and repetitive research, I have decided to visit Colombia on my next vacation. The usual culprits … Continue reading

Travel Planning (A good commute….finally)
My evening commute, which currently is often ruined by construction delays, suffers even more in winter because the darkness that neither the streetlights nor the car headlights can penetrate, robs me of the much-needed visual distraction the scenery provides. On … Continue reading

On Friday, the topic of bucket lists came up. After some discussion and some correction, they asked me about mine and I explained that I don’t really have a lengthy bucket list, bur rather a lot of smaller interim goals. … Continue reading

And I Am Off
It might be a bit of cosmic irony that the polar vortex is losing its grip on the greater Toronto area (GTA) just as I am jetting off to Costa Rica, but I cannot be 100% sure. As I type … Continue reading

Getting Ready
This time next week, I will be in Costa Rica. That shouldn’t be its own paragraph, but when you write it on paper, it just seems so much more real. It just seems that it needs its own space. It … Continue reading

Twenty-One Sleeps
Just a month ago, we (and by we I mean all people with an inner child that celebrates Christmas) were thinking how many sleeps until Christmas. While that holiday season has come and passed–though with the number of people who … Continue reading

August 28, 2014: More Survivor than Winner
