Our (New) Adventure continues

Well I'm not so sure you can call it new but with Theresa's appointment as Senior Vice President Healthcare Businesses at Shoppers Drug Mart we are now definitely going to be living in Toronto for the foreseeable future. For us this means reconnecting with old friends, getting to know a city we left almost fifteen years ago and most importantly spending time with our kids and extended family for more than two weeks at a time.

Asia was amazing and we will miss it. I encourage any of you who have not travelled there to do so - aside from the scary air pollution, China provides a fascinating look at both the past and the future - the wealth, the poverty and the sheer number of people have to be experienced to be believed.

So though the geography has changed, our adventure continues - stay tuned for stories of cottage life in Haliburton, life with Sasha in the condo :) and the trials of training a Golden Doodle puppy who joins our family the end of April.

    Hello Mr. Firestone,

    I am almost certain you will not remember me, but my name is Robert Jones, Jr. and I was a student of yours at P.S. 212 in Gravesend/Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. You were my fourth grade teacher in 1979-80.

    I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you. You were one of the first people (if not the very first) who ever complimented and encouraged my writing. I have since gone on to become a writer (I currently work as senior writer in Brooklyn College's Office of Communications and Marketing) and my first novel will be published soon.

    I was recently profiled in The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/30/t-magazine/black-authors.html

    I hope you and your family are well. (If I'm not mistaken, you have a son named Robert who was born around the time that I was your student.)

    Kind regards,
    Robert
