A few weeks ago, I had a work trip to Vancouver. It was a meeting to prepare for another (big) meeting I went to last week. This was the first time I'd been back for about three years. The last time had been to sell the boat I had lived on for about four years in False Creek. That previous trip had also marked a time of many changes in my life, some of which were good, some of which were not so good, and overall (looking at it now) a time of lots of stress.
Things are more settled for me now, and I feel, much more positive. I was a little worried what I would think and feel, being back in Van. But, it turns out, both the city and I have changed just enough where it was really nice to visit, appreciate those changes, and feel good. I had a lot of really good times in Vancouver when I did live there, and this trip let me enjoy those as well. Kind of starts making you feel like a grownup, you know?
I apologize to the friends I should have visited when I was there a few weeks ago, but didn't (if you're reading this). There are many excuses, between working the whole time and not being sure about how to reach you guys ... but now I think there will likely be a 'next time' sometime soon and if I could look you up then, that's be pretty cool.
