I forget where I am sometimes.

In class, they'll talk about being Here, and mention That Place on That Street. I think, Hmm, I wonder how far that is from Fenwick.

And then I remember, wait, I'm not in Halifax.

So like those annoying GPSes, I recalculate.

You are in Toronto, my internal Google Maps says. Toronto, Ontario. The Centre of the Country.

And yet, I'm surrounded by fresh air and lakes and bachelor ducks.

Nope, I'm in a publishing bubble, around people like me who don't talk like me but understand the urge to push content into the public sphere. I like it here and it's easy to forget a world exists outside of this. I would really rather not leave.

Well that's something I thought I'd never say... :P
