time flies when you ignore your blog...

i'll save the redundant rhetoric... i've neglected my blog yet again.
there is no excuse. no actual reason.
it's just fallen by the wayside as it usually does at least twice a year.

it's coming up on four years since i moved to the yukon... four. years. i remember those precious last days before i departed from toronto, when friends told me they weren't sure if my city loving ass would last a full 365...

living here has certainly come with its downs... -40 temperatures; complete lifestyle change; fewer entertainment attractions; less retail therapy; no childhood friends... and its ups... sun soaked summers; new friends; new directions; weekend morning shows; contract work; wide open spaces; new love.

at least once a year i still toy with the thought of moving on... perhaps giving city life another go... or just trying a new atmosphere on for size... while i don't want to pigeon hole this next statement into being a tardy new year's resolution, i will say that for now, while i'm parked here, i want to try harder to touch base with those i left behind four years ago... skype calls, emails, letters, parcels... too often i spend my downtime doing something useless and meaningless, when i could be writing on this blog, scribing a heartfelt letter or watching my niece bounce around on the webcam...

so, at the risk of breaking a promise to keep this here site flowing with new thoughts, i'll just say that the thought of many familiar faces fills my mind each day... and now it's time to reach out and remind them how much i love them. and miss them.
