| Passport (red folder) and luggage packed for trip to Toronto |
Well folks, I just about completed packing for my trip and I'm ready to take the big bird plan to Buffalo, New York this Wednesday.
"Buffalo, New York?" you say. "But I thought you were going to visit Toronto, Canada." I am folks, I am. However, if I take a plan to Buffalo I save almost $500 versus taking a direct flight to Toronto Canada. Pat will pick me up in Buffalo for the two hour drive to his modern, minimalist home in Tiny Town, Tornonto, Canada. Oh I know I have a reputation as a Big Spender (just spent almost $10,000 on a new HVAC system which I am sick, SICK about) but I do try to economize wherever I can.
So I'll leave the current, invigorating, frustrating, and slash and burn political climate in the good old U S of A and enjoy ten splendid days of relaxation and comfort and goodwill that is Pat and his hometown Tornonto, Canada.
Toronto is a very diverse city that doesn't have the tenseness of tribal culture of America. You say do away with the 14th Amendment, which guarantees birthright citizenship to all who are born in the United States? Time to take a break from this nonsense.
This is the second year that I'm visiting Pat in Toronto at the end of the summer. What a wonderful way to end summer, with a good friend in a very hospitable city.
You know folks, I may not have many days, weeks, months or years to live but I intend to live each day to the fullest and whenever I can grab a chance at happiness and contentment I will. And this is just what I will be doing for the next ten days starting this Wednesday.
I'm taking my MacBook Pro laptop with me and will try to keep you all apprised of my doings, goings and happiness but if I fail to do so, remember I am having the time of my life.
I wish everyone else this happiness.
