The Light of the Sun

"Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World" recorded Christopher Columbus, as he set off on his expedition to find the New World.

I am finishing off the immigration forms tonight for permanent residency in Canada. I am very pleased to have been nominated by the Province of British Columbia as a "Skilled Immigrant", which should hopefully speed things along.

This morning I was up before the light of sun to head to the "ski clinic" at Grouse. This is just a nice way of saying "remedial ski school". I didn't admit to any experience, although I skied a bit, back in the day. I was surprised that it came back fairly quickly and I have been bitten by the bug anew.
