1. He was leaving for 2 weeks at the cottage.
2. I wasn&#8217;t packing for anything (other than an overnight for a dear friend&#8217;s wedding up north)

There are mixed feelings about my old home. My brother, sister-in-law and I went to the house for the last time yesterday, and I&#8217;m glad I wasn&#8217;t there on my own. I&#8217;d probably be there for far too long, mooning over various [...]]]></description>

My parents, some years ago
This Wednesday, Sept. 9, my parents will have been married 61 years. Woo!! Last year, we took them out for dinner. It&#8217;ll be fairly quiet this year. We have other plans on the go.

Sitting with Rita, on the beach
I love summer. It’s my favourite season. I’ve loved summer since I was a small child, although now I actually appreciate spring and fall, too. But I hate winter. 
Winter means frozen fingers and toes, and mine seem to freeze before everyone else’s does. Perhaps it’s my low blood pressure. [...]]]></description>

I find I have to rant about Toronto Hydro&#8217;s proposed windfarm off the Toronto Bluffs again. There was another meeting in Janurary, held for residents only, which brought some interesting things to light for me. Some residents were grasping at straws, making all sorts of wild, negative claims about windmills. Unfortunately, these claims will label [...]]]></description>

Last night, I attended a meeting set up by Toronto Hydro about their future plans to build a wind farm in lake Ontario along the Scarborough bluffs approximately 2 km from shore. They would stretch approximately 24km, from Ajax to the Leslie Street Spit. They expect to have 60 turbines, I believe in rows 3 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thought I’d wrap up the review with a list of things I did and didn’t like about the cruise. It might be useful to some, although I’m sure ‘regular’ folk would have a different take on it than nerdy folks like us. [Well, *I’m* not nerdy.

		<description><![CDATA[Thursday – Third  port of call: Belize City, Belize 
At Belize, the ship does not dock, but rather drops anchor in the ocean. We could take boats to Belize city, but we opted for excursions. Reid was going scuba diving, and the boys and I planned to go to an island so we could [...]]]></description>

First thing in the morning, the four of us headed off on our first NCL excursion: to view some Mayan Ruins. Ronnie is very much into the Mayan culture. The trip there took about an hour on a bus – which is a bit long, but [...]]]></description>

 Norwegian Sun

As mentioned in part 1, some of these posts may be too detailed for most to be interested in. I&#8217;m writing it for personal reasons, and also attempting to make it a review with details others might find helpful if they&#8217;re taking the same cruise.
Sunday - Boarding the ship
After our horrible flight ordeal, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During March break, we were away on vacation&#8230; cruising via Norwegian Cruise Lines, on the Norwegian Sun to the &#8220;Western Caribbean&#8221; out of New Orleans. 
On the whole, I&#8217;d say I probably won&#8217;t do a cruise again (at least, not to the Caribbean), although I can see how most people would really enjoy a cruise. [...]]]></description>

But that turned out to be impossible. We wanted the stand to fit most of our media equipment, including the stereo speakers. All were either too [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;ll be nice to be working again (although, of course, being off was nice while it lasted.) I suppose I officially started on Tuesday this week, but I&#8217;ve had to wait for [...]]]></description>
