Alright, here we go. ………….On the advice of a certain runnergirl, I have decided to give this blogging thing a try. If nothing else it will help me pass time at work when I am slow and they say writing is therapeutic.
Since we are in the midst of a vicious cold snap, I think that just another day on the frozen tundra is fitting. I really don’t know why I live in this climate. I hate everything about winter. Except one thing, hockey, but now you can build a rink anywhere.
I blame my grandfather, who came to Canada from Ireland and starting farming in the late 1800’s. Why didn’t he go south or go to Austrailia like so many other Irish. He chose Canada. Don’t get me wrong I am a very proud Canadian, but if I was an American citizen I would move somewhere warm tomorrow. I could never understand Americans living in the north and being subjected to these horrible winter conditions, for staying. When for them it is a simple car ride south. I guess some people are scared of change, I need change.
Anyway, life is what you make it. I am currently looking in emmigrating to Queensland Austrailia, so we’ll see how that turns out. Being snowed in for 6 months of the year is a waste of time and time is precious. I am lucky to be in a profession that is in high demand everywhere so employment will not be a problem.
I also love Asia and my father lives in the Philippines, so being that much closer is a bonus.
I don’t want to turn this into a whinning blog, so I stop now.
Treadmills suck. Running along the beach. Priceless..
