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 [...]
More Bloodletting for Cancer Research
0 Comments Published by Gail September 23rd, 2006 in Haunted by CancerNokia 6682
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 [...]
1,400 Miles or 2,253 Kilometers Later
1 Comment Published by Gail September 23rd, 2006 in Expat Life, USAAfter 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 — [...]
And These Are a Few of My Favourite Things
0 Comments Published by Gail September 22nd, 2006 in House of Fielding, cameraphone
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.

It is, as it says above, ridiculously early in the morning. Rolled into Toronto in the wee hours after some extended trips. Been living out of a bag for a while. Not done yet. But I’m glad to be back in [...]
Dear David,
I looked for you today. It’s been nine months since I said goodbye, nearly one year since we were married and that means nearly two years since we met. How can I forget? The leaves are beginning to turn and autumn is in the air. It’s our favourite season.
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, [...]
Toronto -> Scranton -> Ambler -> Philadelphia
4 Comments Published by Gail September 16th, 2006 in Food + Drink, Friends, USA, cameraphoneI 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 [...]
