Safe and Sound

[paulonleave]

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I arrived safely in Toronto on Sunday afternoon, long before the Air France flight that ran into trouble today. Thanks for you concern.

You live in Toronto?

[paulonleave]

Yup. Sure do.

We lived in Toronto, on the uncool side of the Bluffs, the segue into Scarborough, off Kingston, for nine months. (You'll laugh: from August, 2002 to April, 2003.) I want to move back. Visiting isn't going to do, either. I want to walk outside and feel the inside of my nose freeze into snot ice. I want to see the sky dump a million tons of snow into Lake Ontario. I fucking love that place.

i figured, but ya never know. just wanted to check.
phew!

welcome back:)

[paulonleave]

Oddly close, though. Of course, I was on Air Canada, where nothing would ever go wrong....

Yeah, I was kind of worried for a while too.

[paulonleave]

It was certainly weird hearing about it and seeing the footage on tv.

Somehow, you feel a lot closer now (me being in Denver). ;)

I'm glad you're safe and sound!

[paulonleave]

Thanks. It's funny how that works. I understand completely, even though Denver is pretty far away.

It's good to hear you're alright. It was doubly worrying for me, because not only were you coming home from France today, but so was the sister of one of my friends.

[paulonleave]

I'm assuming your friend's sister wasn't on the flight in question.

[basementtroll.livejournal.com]

Yep, she wasn't on the crashed flight. She's fine.

BTW. Do you plan on continuing with your blog now that you are no longer on leave?

[paulonleave]

Yes, it was great that no one was seriously hurt.

Glad to hear it, Fella. ::hug::

[paulonleave]

Thanks, Jason.

GLAD YOUR HOME PAUL! Welcome back though you probably miss Europe already

[paulonleave]

Thanks, Thiago. Yes, I miss Europe, but there is lots of great stuff about Toronto, too.

...and... ???

[paulonleave]

It's been a weird three weeks, getting re-adjusted and going to and from Kingston several times. I'm only beginning to feel "home" now.

[aa-bronson.livejournal.com]

Yes, I would imagine so!!!

Do you think you will continue keeping this journal, or was it really for your sabbatical? It doesn't really serve the same purposes now.
