what a beautiful fresh morning... i set off to work late... stole a few more winks in bed. the colours of fall are beginning to intensify... i love Fall, even if it makes me edinburgh-sick... because the weather and temperature are finally livable for only a few weeks before winter sets in... and the colours along the mississippi, ooh the colours!
when i parked my black-beauty (my bicycle!) at work, a veteran walked past and asked:
"What will you do when Winter arrives?"
"I'll bus!", i replied with a smile...
i hope winter won't come so soon, it's very very very very very cold here in winter... but sunny.

when i reached my desk, the phone rang. it was O, who's on the road to canada... he left the lab yesterday evening for a new chapter in his life. it's sad saying goodbye to a colleague and friend. i won't forget the driving practice (he was so generous and patient! bless him) and the fact that he (and others) had more confidence in me than myself, the roadtrips, and the fun that him, E , Io, and i had... but it would be lovely to have a friend to visit in montreal!

meanwhile... i am keeping sane with monoceros's lovely introduction to some beautiful music by Gabriela Montero (who makes me feel better about my silly amateurish random improvisational quirks) and Jake Shimabukuro (who makes me think of mandolines when he plays his ukulele so mesmerisingly)... and trying to get more analyses going...

American continent. Winter in Montreal is cold too, but around the holidays, it's a magical place. You really should visit it. =)
Posted by: monoceros on Thursday, 28 September, 2006 at 21:00 hrsyeah... i should soon have a friend in Montreal... in a couple of hours!
