It means I get to spend more time at home here with family...there's really no other option for that. I also discovered the Vanier CGS scholarship opportunity, and I am adding it ... http://anoynek.awardspace.com/wordpress/?p=660 Finally, after more than ten years, I have met one of my most treasured friends. We were pretty close in the high school days, and used to share our thoughts and poetry with each other. We were many things...perhaps we should have dated too...but anyway, today we got to meet ... http://anoynek.awardspace.com/wordpress/?p=659 Than its beginning. So says the philosopher, and he really is right. When I consider the phrase I think it is because the end of something always contains the beginning, in all its fullness. It's not the same to say the beginning always contains the end...it actually contains many ends, ... http://anoynek.awardspace.com/wordpress/?p=658 Says Tracy Chapman...good song that is on right now, about the dream of bridging racial divisions in the US.

Changes that have taken place over a year. I've been through one program, into another, have found new experiences, new friendships, new moments. They've been lucky, and they've been memorable. I'm happy, to say the ... http://anoynek.awardspace.com/wordpress/?p=651 Well, I'm officially the happiest Bahamian skater in the world! I managed to get my hands on some really really good skates (the blades are Club2000, and worth about $200...the boots are Risport R2 or R3's, and worth about 100 I think, and a skating bag!)...and I got them secondhand ... http://anoynek.awardspace.com/wordpress/?p=650 Wow...today I've been skiing, and also yesterday...What a weekend! This time I went skiing with several people. So now I can ski and snowboard. :) I never skied like this,  I was in the mountaintops! All around was just sunshine and snow, and skiers.
