vaneramosWhat a day! All the cats sit on their sidewalks and front porches, squinting into the low sun. The park crickets are singing for their lives. People are still wearing sandals and short sleeves. Les let me off work early, so I took my camera to the river for the first time since June. Such fine weather at the end of October in Ontario bodes evil, but we take our pleasure while we may.
Les let me go for a different purpose, but I'm stressing and procrastinating about that. This morning I picked up my passport, and Wednesday I will fly for the first time since the summer before Marian was born, 1991. And it's the first time I've flown to the States since 1981, when my parents and I got stranded in Boston by the air traffic controllers' strike and had to return home in a rented car.
The world has changed since then.
I'm not anxious about flying, but the whole preamble drives me a little nuts. At least I have my passport. Now all I need is to pack, wake up early Wednesday morning, drive to Mississauga, park, and somehow navigate the unfamiliar world of Pearson International Airport in hopes of boarding a plane.
The destination is New York City. I'll touch down at JFK, which I learnt belatedly is one of the worst airports on the planet, but by then I'll have time on my side.
The purpose is to rendezvous, sometime later that day, with Danny for our first visit alone together since July. Yes, that's a very long time. Given my trip to Atlanta, busy family summer time, and his trip to Europe, that's the way things have worked out. We might as well do it in New York.

(Actually, I haven't been in JFK in a long time, but it can't be worse than Detroit.)
Have fun in New York!
