Why the revival?

My friend Shirley is very wise. She decided, wisely, in 2010 that I should not go on that very emotional journey to France all by myself. She came with me and we nailed it.

Well, Shirley and I are at it again. Shirley decided, wisely, that I should not do a cross-Canada road trip by myself. So, we are going together. I anticipate a memorable journey.

You see, I am moving to Vancouver from Toronto, permanently. Well, as permanently as anything ever is in life. My plan is to experience the third third of my life there. Of course, if I live to be one hundred and twenty, it will turn out to be only the third fourth. We'll see.

Anyway, I have downsized to the point where I am anticipating writing a memoir entitled "My Life in Thirty-nine Boxes", and my meager possessions are now in Vancouver even though I am not. I still have a few things to do and a few people to see before I go. But, come hell or high water, Shirl and I are hitting the road on September 1st, 2014.

Gotta go. I am having lunch with my childhood friend, Heather.  No matter where either of us is, or how long it has been between sightings, we are forever linked.

  1. I thought I should comment on Maggie's reference to my being wise. I never really thought of myself as wise but if taking yet another opportunity to travel and spend time with one of my favourite people in the whole world qualifies me as wise then I guess indeed I am...but really the wisest thing is time because time provides us with the opportunity to reflect, enjoy and discover so Bring it on Canada....It's show time!
