No Regrets!

Dear Friends,

You know spring is really here when you have to fight for your space on the sidewalk. I really believe that the number of adults, babies and dogs on the streets of our city has doubled since last spring.

I never get tired of writing about the perils of being a simple pedestrian on sidewalks of mid/downtown Toronto. Yesterday, squeezed amongst the bikers who bypassed me without notice, the deluxe Cadillac baby carriages that occupy two lanes, and the hand-in-hand strolling lovers, I realized, I will not miss Toronto at all! I rather live in a place where people use the park to exercise and inhale fresh air, leaving the narrow sidewalks for getting from point A to point B, preferably in a hurry, alone! Although I continue to have doubts about pursuing a life of leisure, I’m surely looking forward to leaving the city! Did I mention the pedlars, the beggars, the automobile horns, fumes and the cigarette smoke?

Only 65 days left to the lake...

Of COBOURG!
