ah, summer!
A lot of time has passed since I made my last post. I’m proving to be a pretty poor blogger and will just face the fact that this will not be a daily thing for me, perhaps not even monthly. But here I am again and am glad to report that summer has finally arrived in Toronto and everyone’s spirits are high. This weekend there’s a lot going on. We went to see the Blue Jays play the Washington Nationals last night. It’s an interesting inter-league match-up which encouraged many to dust off their old Montreal Expos hats. It’s also Barbados weekend, the Distillery District Blues Festival and the annual dragon boat races. And I find myself inside watching the U.S. Open, but will definitely get out a bit later.
Summer has also presented welcome changes at work. I’ve moved back on to the main visa line from my year-long hiatus working with E visas, I-130s and “special” visa applicants. Amazingly, I’m happy being back into the faster pace work on the visa line with the camaraderie of other officers. With my departure from post now just 6 months away, I learned that I’ll be doing a 2-month TDY stint at another post in Canada later this summer. So the days in Toronto are really numbered! Better get out and enjoy our last summer here. We’ll surely miss this place when we’re gone!
