Last week was a whirlwind of packing, driving, mourning and visiting with friends and family. It was like being picked up and thrown around by a maelstrom. But now I find myself quite suddenly ejected back into my regular life both at work and at play. What was I up to? What about that lecture tonight at the University of Toronto? There is an itinerary for a business trip to LA later this week on my desk... are we really going? What about that reception for Czech diplomats and community leaders that I am trying to get arranged for March?
Hello? Is anybody still here?
