Default just saying hi - nothing special

Haven't been on here for years so just thought I would say hi. Been in Canada over 12yrs now. Kids are 15 and 18. Have a dog. Still in same house we bought in Aug 2005. Am a Canadian citizen and work for an awesome company based out of Boston MA. One daughter started uni last week (thank god for the RESP). Other daughter dances competitively (if you think hockeys expensive try dance). Have great friends through dance (I do a little as well) and through school. Been back to England twice - was ok, nothing special. So thats me - living the dream. Laterz

I'm glad you're happy. I am in Guelph and it's cold, Florida looks a better option.

Frostbite vs. being clonked by flying debris. I agree it’s a grim choice.

About 16 degrees. I am still in my shorts but my fleecy PJs are starting to look very appealing.

You obviously get up much earlier than me! It's about 10 degrees by the time I make it outside to deal with the ducks. The extra 30 mins north could make a difference too I suppose.

5:30 for getting up. A while later for being in the car. 7:20 or so in Guelph.

It's dark now for dog walking.
