Varadero Beach
I returned from Cuba several shades darker and with a bit of a sunburn, and Kermit still has sand tucked in his seams. But I also returned without the Nokia 6682 (that story comes later), and the Canon A80′s left selection button sensor died on Day 6. Nearly two years ago the RIGHT button sensor stopped working when David and I were in Philadelphia, which cost more than $100 to fix, so this might be curtains for the Canon A80 
I’m posting this beach picture to conjure up some warmth because the temperature suddenly dropped slightly below freezing today in Toronto — brrrrrr — and I had this thought in the elevator leaving work:
You know it’s winter when you curse the elevator stopping at every floor because you’re bundled up against the outside cold but trapped in a small steel enclosure with other bulky, heat-emitting bodies similarly bundled up, consuming precious oxygen and personal space, leaving you stifled and gasping in a corner and beginning to break a sweat under the scarf and wool hood and gloves, hoping for NO MORE PEOPLE IN THE ELEVATOR because you suddenly cannot WAIT to get outside into that cold air you’ve been bracing yourself for!
Oh, the irony.
