Here are some of the things I’m loving about the month of October in Ontario, Canada:

“Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care” - Shakespeare - Macbeth

The last segment of my career before I got married and then pregnant shortly thereafter can only be described as entertaining, partly because I was working for a magazine in the movie business, but also because I had a crazy boss.

Where were we? Oh yes, a new boyfriend, who was part owner of a large sailboat that was being restored at a beautiful Caribbean island, invited me to join him and his friends for an extended sojourn on the boat.

Decisions, decisions - after a few years at the ad agency, my then boyfriend, G, announced he was moving to Western Canada for work - would I like to join him?

Once upon a time there was a young university graduate who moved to the big city to get a job.

I don’t love running. Even though I’ve been doing it for over 35 years, ever since my friend Sue, whom I met skiing in the singles line at Sunshine Mountain in western Canada, dragged me reluctantly to a local track to join her for a few laps.

Remember the movie The Age of Adaline? Blake Lively plays Adaline Bowman, a young woman who stops aging following an accident at the age of 29. As Adaline negotiates a life on the run because she has turned into a freak and people want to perform experiments on her, the viewer is left thinking “be careful what you wish for!”
