Life in Capital City

Now that I know the move is a sure thing, I have to start considering all the things I’ll miss once I’ve left Toronto behind. And it would be nice to see all those places, do all those things and enjoy all the enjoyable moments, one last time.

So that means it’s time for The Toronto Farewell Tour to get underway.  As the slogan says, “Everything We Love… One Last Time.” (Yes, because of the massive amount of time on my hands and/or the creativity flowing through me, I designed a logo.  And what did you do today?)

Yes, I do have a flare for the dramatic.  And I do know because of work I’ll be back in Toronto several times a year.  But for the sake of this, why not make it a real send off?

My plan is to make the list of all the things I’ve enjoyed over the last seven years and see if it’s possible to do them all again. One last time. Think  of it as a Bucket List – Revisited.  Things I want to do before I go — because I did them already and I liked it so much.

I have a few “stops” on my tour already in mind, and I know I’ll be adding some more over the next couple of months.  And I’m sure I’ll even post them on this blog.  After all, what’s the point of mentioning it if I’m never going to do anything about it?
