I'm back. I'm exhausted. Missed my flight Tuesday night. Very stressful. Bright side: an extra day in NYC spent with charming New York hosts. Too much to tell right now. Vancouver seems very small...and clean. I confess I did not want to come back here and the unpleasant events transpiring in the workplace make me wish I had not. The nice thing is that NYC isn't all that far away. I would like to manage another visit in short order. Perhaps while there is snow on the ground.
