En Route

Fall is finally here, it seems. And that means only one more season till winter. Huzzah!

And I mean that - I love the winter. Skating, hot chocolate¹, hockey, tobogganing... The list goes on and on.

I was actually planning to write a little anecdote about the few months I spent in Rhode Island en route to Toronto from Sri Lanka, but I'm not feeling it right now.

But I will shortly.

• ¹I realise you can have hot chocolate during any time of the year. But it actually counts for something in the winter.

And So It Goes
Billy Joel
From the album, Storm Front

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

Hope everyone has a good week.
