The crunch is on. I leave for Toronto early tomorrow morning and the bibliography is oh-so-close to completion. I made decent progress yesterday, but not enough for my liking. It's not due for a couple more days but I don't want to have to work on it while I'm away. I'm okay with editing it a few times, but not okay with having to lay the foundation.
Speaking of Toronto. I'll be in the T.O. from midday Friday (28th) until early in the morning Tuesday (June 2nd). Don will be at his conference most of the time, but Dexter and I will be bumming around. I have no idea what my schedule is like since our extended network in YYZ is vast, but rather scattered and disorganized. Well, the lawyers all seem to be about scheduling. The creatives are a little more fly by the seat of our pants:)
In any case, if you want to hang out, send me an email.
The reason I keep riding the Amsterdam is because this pannier doesn't fit very well on the Pashley. Takes too long to loop the buckles through Pashley's rack. Plus, I've really been enjoying Amsterdam lately. So light for a cruiser. So light!
I love my new shoes. I know. It's weird. They're so... unassuming.
I've been calling them my potato shoes because they make my feet look like spuds.
Something about them makes me feel like I just baked tons of bread in a wood fire oven, and now I have to load my loaves up into my bike and go sell them at the market. They induce very pastoral sentiments for me.
Notes notes notes. So much reading and writing.
At least I got to do it outdoors in the sun.
I also stalk people enjoying the weather on their lunch break.
Despite the deadlines I had to go meet my friend Chrissy after work. She is moving back to Edmonton from Vancouver at the end of next month! This is my best friend since grade 1. It's a big deal to me. Also, she is pregnant with twins so I will have a mom friend.
Now to do some packing. Never underestimate the amount of stuff Dexter needs. However, I will operate under my usual travel mantra. If you forget it, buy a new one when you get there. Done!

What is your masters about? I just started my Master of Arts in Technology and Communication MACT degree earlier this month. It's an online program as well
Have a happy and safe trip to TO
Hi Miss Sarah!
I'm not sure what your schedule is like, but I've organized a Cupcake Ride and also includes riding in the Bells on Bloor ride (a ride that is to create awareness for creating bike lanes on Bloor).
Here is more info:

happyd - Oooo... this looks like fun! Okay. If I can find a bike. And a way to either ride with the baby in a way that is legal, or for somebody else to handle him for a short while, I am totally there.
Hope hope hope:)
Dang, will just miss you! We'll be there on the 4th! Hope you guys have a great trip :) Am SO looking forward to 25+ weather...
Rosie - Tell me about it! I'm really excited for Dexter to see a real chinatown:)
And I suppose we'll have to bask in the light of Mariya separately.
Come to Edmonton!
