Back soon

I’m off for a little vacation – I’m taking a couple of art and music courses at the Haliburton School of the Arts. It feels like I’m going to summer camp.

I’m leaving the blog on auto-pilot while I’m gone; if all goes well, it will publish a few posts all by itself. If all goes really, really well, I might have internet access and be able to read your comments and your blogs and maybe even post live from the Haliburton highlands.

Oh, and don’t you worry about Duncan – he’s staying at the ultra-luxurious Cat’s Meow Inn near Perth. He’s gonna be just fine. He was a bit traumatized by the car ride (he shed about a pound of fur in my allergic-to-cats friend’s car; he also shed seven toenail casings. And he pooped in his box and escaped from it too. It was Quite the Ordeal for everybody concerned.) But as soon as we got there he settled right into his new digs.

See you soon!

    Enjoy Zoom! I’m in mother-of-the-bride boot camp for the next 3 weeks ;0@

    Oooh you’re off to my place of origin! They better treat you well or I’ll be mad.
    I hope you have a lovely vacation! 😀

    Haliburton’s School of the Arts is my favourite place to learn. I know you will love being there. Have a wonderful time.

    Was it a long ride? A 10 minute ride to the vet’s can be harrowing. That kitty-in-distress meow is hard to listen to.
    Have a good time!

    Zoom’s escape to Halliburton inspired me to look into the school’s offerings, and I found one that interested me – but then discovered to my dismay that there is apparently no public transportation between Ottawa and Halliburton! Even though it’s essentially West of here, you’d have to go to Toronto and then take a bus from there……does anyone know some secret way to get there? Don’t worry, I won’t be spoiling Zooms retreat, I wouldn’t go for another several weeks……

  • Thanks! I have limited internet access here – better than nothing, but not quite enough.

    Sheila – it was about an hour and a half or two hours. Rush hour and all that. Harrowing is a good word.

    Janet, you’re right, transportation between here and there is awful. I met a friend in Cobourg and we drove together. But try a ride share thing – there’s gotta be other people heading this way.
