Thoughts of the week

I can get used to doing the minimum of work and enjoying myself more.  For some reason more people than normal have asked for couple therapy and unfortunately I have had to still decline, since my house is still staged as I display my for sale sign.  I have been to Niagara Falls a few times for fun and am looking forward to moving there.  This time I saw a guy wearing a Canada is not for sale sign rushing about with an angry scrowl and I sure wouldn't want to deal with him as a Canadian, let alone an American.  Really?  I am rethinking getting anything like that if the attitude may be misconstrued.  Canadians need to remind themselves that this is not all the States - this is one man who has lost perspective of what America is.  Most Americans believe in a democratic country and know right from wrong, including who is the enemy - those who invade countries and try to take their resources.  So, I may wear something Canadian but that it is it.  I want Americans to feel comfortable when they come to our country.  

I have my eyes in Niagara Falls but also realize that I have a life here in Toronto and am wondering how to transfer all that.  I have a book event to go to at the end of the month and another one which is bigger - The Word on The Street, which is being held on King Street near Thompson Hall this year.  I have been assured that I shall find parking.  That is happening 27/28 September 25.  So what events are there for authors in Niagara Falls?  I don't know.  I take Toronto for granted because it is my home town.  I think of it as a town.  I think of Niagara Falls as my cottage.   However, unfortunately I cannot afford both.  I am pretty determined to go to Niagara Falls.  I let my physician know what my plans are and he told me that he has patients who have left to live there.  I asked if they had problems finding a doctor there and he laughed saying that they still come to him.  He assured me that I could have video calls.  That was encouraging and why not.  He sends me for lab tests and blood tests and of course we could have a video call instead of coming back home.  Notice I say home, because Toronto will always be my home.  But it is time to leave the nest.  So Trump you cannot buy Canada but I will sell you my house.  How's that?  Good talk.  I still have photos to show you.  Have a good weekend.  If you ever have a question to ask either about books or therapy, please feel free to ask.  That will give me something to talk about.  It has become very routine for me.  What do you think?
