"Hey daddy what the hell is going on here, are you not going to update the people out there what has been going on for the last year and a half?"

Well it has been a long time, too long, however since then I have changed jobs to find myself in a more friendly, more challenging, more joyfull place to be.  A few seasons have gone by and this past Canada Day little Findley Robin was born.  He is the most incredible little fella and he has made me cherish life so much more than I ever thought possible.  

 

I am so happy to be where I am right now and as I get close to the anniversary of my heading to New York I find myself thinking of James and our tmie together, and how he helped get me through those long days and nights.  I often speak of him in class about the tea business and about those late nights slash early mornings in my kitchen seeing who could make the best julienne while making "something out of nothing".  

 

I look back less now because I have so much more to look forward to, but when I do reflect it is on times like those that I draw my most memeorable experiences to pass along to my students.  To share, to enjoy and to live.  Because we are alive and well, and I want to thank you for that James, as always I love you from the bottom of my heart.

 

And today I want to thank my wife for being who she is and what she represents in my life.  A never ending spirit who brings a smile to my face whenever she walks into the room.  A wonderful mother to our Finabin a great friend to those who trly know her, my best friend. 

 

Happy Birthday Wifey xoxo.
