After settling into our room, none of us had any desire to go hunting for supper. So, we chose readily available options we had garnered during our short time in Vancouver, as well as a few offerings from our travel snack bag. I know, sad, is it not? But, so satisfying………………………………….
Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

What can be better than the high fat and sugar content of these sweet treats? I actually haven’t had a proper cinnamon roll in a while now, it’s time I fix that 🙂
The pastry is tempting, but I am always surprised to find cinnamon everywhere, where does this obsession come from when there are other flavours, starting with maple syrup.
I like to unwind the sticky buns when I eat them. Love the play on words in your title and the Holiday Inn Express goblet. 😊 Those plastic cups are cleaner than the glasses in hotel bathrooms.
I am with you. Unwinding prolongs the flavour. Thanks for your kind words and for reading John. We figured a plastic wrapped plastic glass would be a safe bet. Cheers. Allan
