Vacation Limbo
This morning I became inconveniently absorbed in The Great Gatsby. As much as I wanted to bundle up and go for a jog, I couldn't tear myself away from the pleasant prose of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Gol-ding-it, it's hard to follow a schedule when one is on vacation!
(Sobering side note: all the characters in The Great Gatsby are my age. Daisy even has a three year old).
Our post-Montreal vacation so far has been chock full of meals, friends, family, etc... Some notable highlights have been the workout sessions with Joey and the tango lesson that was my Christmas gift from Kendrick. Speaking of Christmas presents, Maggie, my brother's girlfriend, picked up a beautiful blue sari for me when she was in India last month. She showed me how to put it on so hopefully I will be more successful with it than with the yukata. Last but not least, I got the chance to spend time playing with babies! First 18 month old Darwyn at Binh and Ray's, and then with 9 month old Adam at Karen and Dion's. I even brought my mom along to play with Adam and we had such a good time. I won't start on the cuteness of it all: it would fill pages. Suffice it to say that babies are the best!
Kendrick and I left Toronto today. We are now in Waterloo at Wild Iris hotel, where the staff was caught somewhat unprepared and the launderers are working overtime to ensure our comfort. In a show of goodwill, Kendrick and the hotel Manager will square off in a friendly sparring match. They are possibly at it already judging from the reverberations from the punching bag directly below me.
Signing off then, from Wild Iris. Next broadcast will probably be in Copenhagen. Happy new year everybody!!
