journey to the periphery

The family went away for a seven-day break in Orlando, Florida. It was blue skies mostly! The scare was that the hurricane slammers of the previous weeks would ruin the whole vacation. On the contrary, the weather did deliver. Whole days spent in the Disney World Resorts and Theme Parks (Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, MGM Studios, Downtown Disney), and one day spent in Cape Canaveral at the Kennedy Space Center. And so it was.

Vacations tend to reveal the true characters of the individuals going away from it all, and ours had been no different. I am especially surprised at a few things about my wife and son. The looking forward to still leaves a lot of things open to surprises. No matter how it gets shaken, the journey to the periphery starts with the first limbering away from the routine and the normal.

Now back in grey Toronto. Toronto the Grey. It's so nice to sleep in.
