So that's basically my next 36 hours. I'm coming back to Toronto late tonight, then I'll be at home in Oakville around 1am. I really miss my girls. And my wife of course. And our dog.
Tomorrow I have a phone interview with a newspaper in Saskatoon, then I'm going out to Hamilton for the CH thing(see below), then I'm heading into the city for the Womens' show then back home to see the babies and then back to Moose Jaw Saturday morning.
My brothers and I were talking about how when it comes to caring for an elderly parent or their death, convenience doesn't come into play. I feel very lucky to have had this time to spend here.
When I got fired, everybody said, "Oh you know when one door closes another one opens!"
As my wife Randee said, "I hope this wasn't the door they were talking about!"
This door sucks.
Btw. Last night Moose Jaw got a new mayor, money for the hockey rink was approved and that kid who played for the Warriors is still in a coma.

Hi Howard,
I can understand that feeling of being lucky. I can't help but think the timing of your firing is serendipitous in that you are able to spend time with your father right now. In the last three years I had similar experiences with both parents-in-law involving almost daily visits to the hospital. Both passed away due to cancer but looking back, I feel fortunate to have been able to spend that time with them (had to fly to Alberta in one case). In years to come you'll feel even more appreciative of the time and opportunity.
You're still missed on my morning commute...
