Ready to Roll

Image
April 29, 2018. I heard the weather here was nice while I was gone, but to me April is still cold and grey. This is the neighbour's back deck - they have kids who are clearly ready for summer. So am I. tired of waiting. https://flic.kr/p/JxkZ3f

My Luggage

Image
April 28, 2018. Flying home from Colombia. This is the transfer to Ottawa, and I had the unusual experience of being able to see my own luggage being loaded onto the plane (and enough time so I could set up to take the photo exactly when it is being placed on the conveyor belt. Arrived home late morning after the red-eye and slept the rest of the day. https://flic.kr/p/H1XayD

Medellin

Image
April 22, 2018. Flew to Medellin today, which took longer than it should have because my flight was cancelled. Fortunately wifi in the airport lounge was excellent so I spent the delay editing photos and watching the Blue Jays game. Arrived in time for supper and to get caught in a rainstorm. This kite display isn't actually in Medellin, but is rather just outside the airport. https://flic.kr/p/26rfzPx

Bogota

Image
April 21, 2018. I took the Transmillennial from the airport hotel where I'l staying to the city centre and wandered around on a gorgeous Saturday taking pictures and enjoying the noise and the atmosphere. I alo wrote a blog post, "The Morality of the More Powerful". https://flic.kr/p/JhPKof

Turtle Power

Image
April 9, 2018. By my count, two turtles equals five Iron Men. These are what I suspect are pinatas in the Whole Foods Store, where I went at lunch. Despite being ill, it was a good week, as I managed to finish three papers. Kind of makes up for the previous two weeks, where I accomplished nothing. https://flic.kr/p/JcKApS

Robin

Image
April 18, 2018. The robin in the tree was singing up a storm this afternoon. Probably not happy songs either as the weather continues to resemble winter more than spring. Had a frustrating CPAP appointment this morning and worked on a report this afternoon. My cold continues to linger but I'm doing better, https://flic.kr/p/25dyM4j

Icemageddon

Image
April 16, 2018. OK, Icemageddon is perhaps an exaggeration, but we did have an icy coating over everything this morning, with the result that I stayed home for the day and worked on papers. Still struggling with my stupid cold. https://flic.kr/p/23uVNSy
