Photos from the trip to Philadelphia, PA / Camden, NJ being uploaded slowly but surely. The photoset thus far:
Philly Visit - Sep 14-16
There were a couple of things I wanted to do while I was down in Philadelphia, and one of them was to visit the Italian Market where David took some of his shots [...]

It was a bit jarring to be back in the hurly-burly of Toronto after a very peaceful time in rural upstate New York, but I had an appointment at the Princess Margaret Hospital’s cancer research facilities. I mentioned a month ago that I qualified to participate in a study to assess the effects of [...]

After returning to Toronto for one day after three weeks in Vancouver, I got in my car and drove from Toronto to Scranton, Scranton to Ambler, Ambler to Philadelphia, Philly to Scranton, Scranton to Rhinebeck, then Rhinebeck to Toronto in about six days. On Wednesday alone I drove about a third of that — [...]

Beside my bed: some of David’s aviation books, photos from our wedding, a wooden box that contains his helmet, scarf, and aviator goggles, an urn with 1/3 of Hugh’s ashes, and my favourite photo of David.

After a heavy meeting at the [...]

I’m going to have to make this quick before I get kicked out of Starbucks…
Saturday’s photos thus far are here.
Brunch:

Benjamin Franklin Bridge:

(I’ve got some great photos from earlier today, but I’ll have to upload them later.)
The drive north through the Pennsylvania countryside from Philadelphia to Scranton:

Had a nice visit with David’s boss in Wilkes-Barre, [...]

I was in Toronto for all of one day before I hit the road again on Thursday. I’m too wiped out for anything but a pictorial at this juncture, so here we go:
Scranton: Helma’s home cooking!

… just before I left, I — of the anti-snake persuasion — did peer at some beady reptilian eyes [...]
