So here I am

What would we do without modern technology? I have more than one email account, I'm on Facebook (thanks to daughter Sally) and now I'm on here (thanks to Rob). I'm going to use this medium instead of sending numerous emails to people. If you're interested you can look here, if you're not that's OK. This will keep your mailbox free of useless and maybe boring emails from me. Feel free to make comments, I'll enjoy reading them.

I should have started writing in 2007 - now that was a year! I ended a 28 year relationship and struck out on my own. I tried to quit my job but John refused to take my resignation saying I could work online. He probably thought I would soon come to my senses and return - he was right. After spending a month in Cudworth SK (population 500) with my Sally I realized Saskatchewan and I aren't a good fit, I missed Ontario (and would you believe my job?) so I bid a regretful farewell and returned "home" to Ontario.

A friend suggested signing up on an online dating site - even though she refused to. There sure are a lot of single men out there - so many men, so little time! After meeting one particular guy who took me sailing I realized that I wanted to learn how to sail and went in search of someone to teach me. I found a guy, dressed like the Quaker Oats man (he wan an extra in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies) who said he could try. We exchanged a few messages but he was going to the Bahamas so our meeting was delayed. I almost canceled while he was gone, who want's to date a Quaker Oats man? I showed his picture to friends Ellen and Rudy and they recognized him as a member of their sailing club! They swore he was a good guy so when he returned I had my first sailing lesson.

 Sailing happily the rest of the season and then he was gone, back to the Bahamas for the winter.
