If you do the math, crunch the numbers, analyze the data, you should deduce that it’s been a tremendously busy period for us: from packing up our house in Airdrie to moving into our Burnaby condo, starting new jobs and new studies, adjusting to new commutes and new schedules…we’re as busy as Lower Mainland copper thieves. But hey, life is good, and if you’re in the “GVRD” anytime soon, drop in and we’ll serve you some tea.
It’s good to be back.
