May Already?!

Hi everyone,

do you ever get the feeling that the older you get, the faster time passes by. I feel like I shouldn't even be talking about Sri Lanka anymore seeing that I returned 4 months ago...

...So What's been happening over the past couple of months?

-I'm semi-retired (meaning having really figured out the next career move)

-I've been doing some work to incorporate some Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives into my former school

-Geoff has been busy with work at the hospital and with his RIGPA meditation group

-Our apartment is having some work done on it (bathroom and kitchen are being fixed after some water damage)

-I've been contacted by an agency out of Boston that I did some work for in Sri Lanka and I may be facilitating some short-term projects in various parts of the world (beginning in August?)

-Our back deck has been redone and our plants have been resettled (and are doing well)

-We're just about to paint the bathroom and the bedroom

-I've written an article for an International Language Travel magazine

-Slowly but surely the weather is getting warmer and we've been having regular barbecues on the front deck

-We're still taking long walks on the seawall, connecting, talking, and enjoying trying to figure out "what's next?"

-We're attempting to become more active in our community (I've joined the Pride Society, Geoff and I are trying fend off a major development that is overtaking a heritage site, etc)

-And so on...
Take care, sorry for such delayed updates

T & G

The joys of water damage

Enjoying the sun in early Spring (end of March)
April flowers in Stanley Park
Sunset on a ferry trip back to Vancouver
Tulips at English Bay
Only 6 weeks until we can enjoy the water again (and the outdoor pools open in 1 week)

Hey boys. Nice to see you around again. In fact I've been absent myself lately. Thanks for the update! Isn't this weather today perfect.

Sounds like a perfect start to spring... so much possibility.
Enjoy, and have a swim for me!
