I booked this flight only a week ago then spent the last week in Pennsylvania and New York, so I’ve been researching (read: cramming) Cuba since yesterday. Because only crazy people show up in Cuba on Christmas Eve without a reservation, and only those slightly less crazy (Yours Truly) make a booking the night before.
I [...]

Seamans Airport (9N3)
Factoryville, PA
When David first took me to Cherry Ridge Airport for my inaugural flight in the Tri-Pacer, he told me that it would forever change the way I thought of airports in general.
“This isn’t JFK, Gail, there’s no passport control to bother you… but can I pat you down?“
I’ve been in [...]

Flying over northeastern Pennsylvania

This is straight out of David’s camera, no post-processing.

Dear David,
Remember when I took this photograph? It was spontaneous, our first portrait together, October 4, 2004. You were so amazed by this picture:
“I can’t believe that’s me, Gail! You took 10 years off me!”
You were wearing your favourite shirt: a black linen Cuban number, which — come to think of it — was so [...]

Yesterday I drove from Toronto to Scranton, arriving shortly after 10 o’clock in the evening. Helma greeted me with a wonderful meal, the kind of meal that can bring one back from the dead. I wasn’t feeling quite that bad, but the six-hour drive turned into seven hours because of busloads of sports fans heading [...]

This photo was taken in 2001, when David was 1Lt. He was promoted to Lt. Col. in November 2005.

Nathan Phillips Square
Toronto
I cobbled together bits of the videoclips I mentioned here. It’s not cold enough to be a winter wonderland, but the light display is winterish.
Somewhere in my archives is footage of ice skating at Rockefeller Center in New York City, but only heaven knows [...]
