8r4d Start spreading the news! We landed in NYC this evening just in time to wander through Times Square near our hotel for a couple hours. The weather is mild but the conditions in New York are hot and hopping. #newyork

Pearson Airport

8r4d Late breakfast? Lunch? Early dinner? It's two thirty in Toronto Airport with a couple hours to kill, and after waking up at 3am, timezone jumps are the worst! #travel

My Thinking Spot

If you're wondering, I'm taking a year off from corporate social media. No instagrams. No twitters. Definitely no facebooks. That doesn't mean I want to log off completely. This is a little applet I wrote on my own private space for a personal kind of social media I'm gonna try out. Stay tuned.

Our Park

8r4d After snowing for two days straight the park is nearly impassable, at least for a tiny dog and her lazy owner, but the night sky is now clear and temperatures are hopefully going to improve... eventually?

Home

8r4d I broke and bought a new phone last night, with my current showing it's age and either needing a new battery or lowered expectations fir performance, and our upcoming trip needing a reliable tool for communication and photography. It was time.
