So I wrote an entire posting a few hours ago and decided over lunch that I didn't like what I had written so I'm starting over. Sometimes this time change thing is nice.
Today is a bit of everything.
First thought. 2 years ago today I moved to Toronto, Canada. If you haven't been to Toronto it is a great city, a very livable city and I'm going to give a special "O Canada" shout out to things I miss from there:
1. My apartment. What can I say, I loved that apartment, loved the view, loved the kitchen and loved my flat screen TV.
2. How sometimes when I would meet someone I would say one sentence and they would say "oh, are you American?". It was bizarre (of course here everyone thinks I'm Canadian).
3. How everyone in Canada thinks it is their personal duty to teach Americans about all the famous Canadians (did you know that Keifer Sutherland is Canadian? I think just his mom, but he grew up there, that one took me by surprise I mean, he's Jack Bauer!).
4. The beer. Specifically Rickards Red, and Rickards White. Good stuff.
Second thought. Not a thought so much as a statement. I saw 6 peacocks on my way to work this morning. 6! They were sitting on a roof-top (it was a flat roof but, can peacocks fly?). That is one of the things I love about this country, peacocks in the middle of the city.
Third thought: This morning I spilled my coffee all over my desk and myself (sadness). I was getting up to get paper towels when three people swarmed my desk to clean it up for me. It was all very ridiculous, they literally wouldn't allow me to clean my own mess. While it is nice to have people clean for you, it is times like those when it just gets kind of silly, but that is India. Once you achieve a certain status you don't do manual things for yourself, including cleaning up your own messes.
Anyway, those are my random thoughts and comments for today. Happy Wednesday all, and I hope that you don't spill your coffee!
