Kingston!

Hi! It's been way too long. Funny to think I spent longer living there than Justin has spent living at all. Went for four years, stayed for eleven.

Just up the hill is the house where Justin was born. Our first home, which we bought at a bank sale and spent the next four years healing from the damage done by previous tenants and ignored by the slumlord. The floors were a general mess, the wall colour was cat-puke off-white, the sheer volume of nails was staggering (we figured instead of using closet, they just nailed their clothes to the wall), and the living room carpet had a huge stain of black grease. We figured some previous tenant probably stored his motorcycle in the living room, and worked on it there. Ugh.

It's the house where we got married, had both of our kids, and where Chris finished his medical school. Did a lot of living there.

I wonder what it looks like now.

OMG that's the Queens Shuttle! Cool!

OK, leaving Kingston now.

If I had to guess I'd bet someone's riding one of those nifty Via Rail trains with the Wifi service.

Yeah. I responded to this post before scrolling back a bit farther on my flist to see your earlier posts. Anyway, you can olor me jealous. I love riding trains too but the only one I ride with any regularity (Amtrak from Buffalo to NYC) doesn't have Wifi. Although I gotta say that the scenery traveling from Albany down the Hudson river beats southern Ontario all to heck (in my opinion anyway).

I'm enjoying being able to make them. So glad I didn't drive to To and back...
