    I swam in the Atlantic Ocean today for the first time. Yesterday, we dipped our feet in but today we went all in. It’s quite salty.

    I caught a baseball today. I did it with my bare hands. I was sitting down at the time. It felt impressive. I wonder if I was on TV.

    Coming back to the city is always an interesting experience. Leaving is stressful because of the traffic but you eventually end up far enough away that your shoulders relax without you realizing it. Returning, the tension builds up slowly, a crescendo played by the streets of the city.

    What irritates you about the home you live in?

    I live in a decently large one-bedroom apartment, with a den, in downtown Toronto. Given the state of the real estate market right now, there’s little I can complain about. Without a financial windfall to boost my sails, I’m not going anywhere for a good while.

    I Went to Medieval Times

    I went to Medieval Times for the first time on Saturday. A friend of mine organised the event for his birthday. It’s not something I would ever have thought to do to celebrate a birthday. But, that’s why we have friends…to share new experiences with.

    Kite Flying

    It was a nice day out the other day so I thought I’d go fly a kite. It was a lot of fun, and frustrating at times, until I was asked to stop. I wasn’t the only one enjoying seeing the kite fly.

    Bubbles Floating By | Coming Out of Lockdown and Scramble Intersections

    We were finally let out of lockdown last Friday and people took advantage. The city got busy again and people were rushing to places. The city felt more like itself again.

  • Timelapse of Queen’s Park

    Timelapse of Queen’s Park

    Timelapse videos are interesting because they show the transition happening in one place. We are usually moving through spaces. It’s not often that the spaces move through our field of view. Getting a new perspective is never a bad idea. This timelapse took an hour-and-a-half. I was able to catch up on some reading while…

    The story behind five of the day’s pictures – January 9, 2021

    The sun was shining when I woke up today. As I stared at the reflections of light in the mirror, I told myself that I had to get up and get outside today. That was the motivation I needed to get out of bed on what I was hoping would be a rather lazy Saturday.

    It was supposed to snow this evening

    I checked the weather at around three o’clock this afternoon and it said that it was going to snow starting at around four. At around four o’clock, I checked the weather again, and it said that the snow should start falling at around six. At six o’clock this evening, I had been outside for a…
