Sometimes truth is stranger, or in this case much better, than fiction. Kevin and I dated back in high school then on Friday, decades later, he picked me up at the airport for a wonderful evening of reminiscing and talking about our current lives. I think we both turned out well. It was so great to see him again. <\/p>\n<p>Then it was off to Robin&#8217;s to hang out in her hot tub even in temperatures well below freezing. I guess the warmer Vancouver weather hasn&#8217;t made me as much of a wimp as I thought it had. Even though I was only there a couple of days it was so great. Her kids have grown so much, they were a lot of fun and because I helped wrap all their holiday gifts, I know what they&#8217;re getting \ud83d\ude42 (the ultimate knowledge base of power this time of year)<\/p>\n<p>After a trip to the barn this morning to watch Robin ride and jump her latest horse it was back to the airport for the final leg of my trip home. I was sad to leave Toronto, but excited to come home to see Mom, Dad and my other brother and his family.  Oh and have wild New Brunswick blueberries  &#8211; way better than the cultivated ones out West \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>On the plane I worked on some copy to update on websites, revised my to-do list, started fleshing out content for the training seminars I&#8217;ll be conducting in the new year and thinking about possible questions that might be asked if a proposed interview with CBC Radio works out. (I&#8217;m very excited about this last bit &#8211; I&#8217;ll keep you posted)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took the weekend off.
