D-day!

The day has arrived! Today is September 16 and I am enroute to Paris. Yesterday I went to Knox church and said goodbye and then drove to Winnipeg after lunch. It was a beautiful clear sunny fall day, the kind where you can be dressed appropriately in a jacket or a t-shirt and  Lake of the Woods sparkled and beckoned. I had supper with my dad and my sister's family, slept at Heather's apartment and was driven to the airport this morning by Laura. Last evening Heather cleverly adjusted some settings on the blog so get comments from you should be essy. PLease try to write back to me so we can see if the problem is solved. You might be asked for your email address but that will not appear with your comment.

Now I am at Montreal airport waiting to board the plane for the overnight flight to Paris
 I always enjoy the dinner
wine, and movie. I feel very special and lucky to be hurtling through the night on my way to an adventure.

A short while ago I sat at a table here in the airport having a snack and visiting with a lovely couple who were biologists from Victoria. They do fascinating work in watershed management. A lifetime ago I worked at the Freshwater Institute and this conversation reminded me of the issues that ELA, David Suzuki, David Schindler and others work so hard to control for us thoughtless slobs.

Boarding soon. Next stop....Paris.
