If I can make it here....

It's weird. A week ago, I was walking along the all-of 4 blocks of Charlottetown's downtown thinking that in a weeks time I'll be walking in a much larger sea of concrete and glass. Well....how time flies. Here I am after a 2 hour flight later, in the center of the universe, Toronto.

I knew this move was going to happen. Even though I'm so sick of moving, it was going to happen. Whether it was Toronto, Halifax, London, Vancouver....I was going to move. I've lived in Charlottetown on and off for 10 years and have not been able to do the work that I want to be doing. So a move had to happen.

The trick now (and you'll note this from my previous posts) is to get a footing here. I have high hopes. Maybe more than the last time I lived here (2002). I have more friends here....one of which (who I'm staying with) owns a design firm in town. A small one...but still...very helpful in getting contacts and the odd web site here and there.

As far as the other things about moving away....they all sucked. Leaving my family, my friends, and someone I was growing very close to. The pros? more work...yes....but a chance to continue getting my life in order. I had slipped away from the gym and my weight loss. That changes today. More to do.. you know...usual things when youu move to a new place.

I do hope to visit the Island as much as possible. Hopefully if work builds up I'll be able to make regular trips.

So that's all for now. I'll try and keep things up-to-date here.
