Morning in Montreal
I should be awake now. But I can’t help feeling laid back and lazy. After all is not a vacation a good excuse to relax. Outside the window, grey daylight streams in filtered by light curtains. Inside I sit and write. Outside the wind blows. The dark silohuette of a tree rocks its branches to…

Writing on a Train
I neglected to post a blog entry today in the morning. I felt too tired and uninspired to write anything of substance. Also I could not relax until I knew I had left Toronto. Now it is evening. And I’m on a train, again going the farthest east on land I’ve been in Canada. I’m…

A Weekend of Inaction
This weekend turned out not as productive as I planned it to be. Instead of working on any writing or replying to any e-mails or doing any real computer-related work.

Happy Saint Valentine’s Day
A special day deserves a special blog posting… Today is NOT the day to feel in infatuated with sugar-candy like “lovey” emotions. Today is also not a day for chocolates, flowers, hearts, and a crazy winged creature code named “Cupid”. It not also not a day to lust or for envy of not being with…

Viral Beatdowns
Anyone wondered what happened to me in the past few days? Well in case you missed my online presence, I had a nasty upper respiratory viral assault. So in order to support my immune defences, I had lay in bed and take medicine. Today is the first day that I’m back to my cheerful, attentive…
