The weather completely changed last night, and we needed cycling sleeves, and some of us, wind jackets, this morning. David and Dayle had to attend a memorial in Bronte this evening, so we planned a short day today, so they didn’t end up feeling rushed. The sun came out just after we left, but wasContinue reading “Whitby 2023 – Day 3”

Whitby 2023 – Day 2
I awoke just before my alarm, momentarily confused as to where I was, then got up and looked out the window, to discover it was a dark rainy morning in Whitby. The rain was tapering off. We got into our cycling gear, picked a place to meet David, 8 km away, at the garden centreContinue reading “Whitby 2023 – Day 2”
Whitby 2023 – Day 1
Dayle, Cindy and I set off for an adventure in Whitby today. It’s the second annual Whitby adventure for Cindy and me. I wrote about it last year here. David couldn’t get away today, but will be joining us tomorrow. I have downsized from the giant pink suitcase I took to Ottawa 6 years ago,Continue reading “Whitby 2023 – Day 1”
Rochester – Day 4
The day dawned beautifully sunny with a forecast high of 24°. We packed, checked out, and drove to Pittsford New York, a small town, which is part of the greater Rochester area, on the Erie Canal. The Eastman museum was on the way, and we stopped briefly to take a picture in the sun. TheContinue reading “Rochester – Day 4”
Rochester – Day 3
It was raining when we woke up, and had been forecast to do so when we went to bed last night, so we planned to visit the Eastman Museum. The rain had stopped by the time we were ready to leave the room, but the roads were still very wet, and heavy rain was predictedContinue reading “Rochester – Day 3”
Rochester- Day 2
It’s easy to forget that Covid is still circulating and continues to be a potentially deadly and disabling disease. I caught it for the first time at the end of March of this year. I would preferred not to catch it again . One of the things that I do help me evaluate risk isContinue reading “Rochester- Day 2”
Rochester – Day 1
Michael and I decided to do a getaway to Rochester for his birthday. I had been to Rochester twice before, with Patti in 2013 and 2014, but Michael had never been there. I didn’t have particularly strong memories of the city. The ones I had included an impression of a city in decline caused byContinue reading “Rochester – Day 1”
Calgary – Day 8 & 9
We were planning another walking day in Calgary today, but before we got out of the apartment Patti’s son Robert phoned to ask if we wanted to go to Kananaskis for a hike while he golfed with a friend. We accepted. Here’s this morning’s picture of Cat on my bed, playing with my ball whichContinue reading “Calgary – Day 8 & 9”
Calgary – Day 6
I didn’t take a picture of Cat this morning, so here’s a picture of us waiting for the bus. Every time I ride the bus I think of the Danish “The Bus” advertisement. The bus we have been taking from the apartment to the bike shop has been very convenient and quick, even if it’sContinue reading “Calgary – Day 6”
Calgary- Day 4
I woke before my alarm this morning to this face. It’s Canada Day so we decided to do a ride along both sides of the Bow River through the City thinking there might be Canada Day events happening along the river. We took the bus from the apartment to Outlaw Sports to pick up theContinue reading “Calgary- Day 4”
