It seems I am going through a series of intermittent holidays. I finished my semester in April and headed of east - Newfoundland and then back to Toronto on the way to Calgary. Now I will be off to Vancouver for a week long conference and then a week of holiday in Victoria.
Then I head back to Calgary [sort of a yo-yo summer] to get ready to teach for six weeks. All in all I actually like this kind of routine where I never feel like I am in a rut. I certainly do not miss the old 9-5 grind that I used to be stuck in.
Not that I don't want to work - I just want to do it on my terms and at this point in my life pretty well everything I do is on my terms. I am finding the single life fulfilling in a way that almost surprises me. It really became clear to me while I was in India that I need this solitude at this time in my life. Not sharing a bed also means I don't have to share the decision about just where in the world that bed is and that is something I am really savouring right now.
In fact when my friend Margo suddenly asked me what it would take for me to marry again I immediately blurted out: "A lobotomy!"
