Wow. Loved the introspection. You wrestled with some really big questions in this piece, and did so with such grace. Chef's kiss. I also loved the quote from "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon." That was my daughter's favourite song when she was a toddler. A very good friend learned it on guitar and played it for her on her second birthday. It's still in the rotation at our group sing-alongs 25 years later.

I miss Japan....I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, covering the opening of the Canucks season in Tokyo way back when....As Donald Brashear told me: "They have real rice here."

Whatever else this trip provides you, it's obviously been a great opportunity to get to know yourself and reflect on future life choices. Well done you.

A really enjoyable read, almost like sitting across a table from you in a cozy coffee shop. Keep them coming.
