This latest layout started off as the 'Mind The Gap' site regarding my travels; chiefly my one month tour of Europe in 1999. After sitting in a hidden portion of my site waiting for some content, I finally stopped kidding myself. There was no way I would launch that site anytime soon. So instead of letting the layout get stale, I decided to use it for my personal page!

Some things you'll notice. The weblog has been moved to the front of the site, as that is the only thing that gets updated lately. And I ditched the message boards (for now).

As for life, I'm still loving NYC. It's a wonderful place, and the longer I stay here, the less I ever want to leave. I'm sure that's a scary idea for our families who are hoping that we'll get all this out of our system, and come back to Canada and have kids. (Yikes!)

February 13th marked our second year anniversary in New York. I've noticed that I've begun to take things in the city for granted. I barely look at the people who walk by (which would account for the drastic reduction in celebrity sitings). I also take for granted the immense selection of rest aurants, bars and other nightlife in the city. What will I do when I finally have to give it all up?

In the last introductory blurb I wrote last year I said: But do I like Manhattan better than Toronto or Canada in general? Well, its different. As a friend of mine once said "New York has the best of the best, and the worst of the worst." Toronto and Canada will always be home to me. But for now, NYC is big and exciting and fast-paced.

All of that is still true, but I no longer thing of NYC as just big and exiting and fast-paced. I think of it as home now. Let's just say that home is where the heart is, and my heart is split between New York and Toronto. Today is a beautiful day and I'm happy to be here. Who knows what tomorrow may bring. Maybe I'll be living in Europe next year..!
