It's been a good run

I think I can officially give you the stoic goodbye salute on this blog. All the margins of my life have been filled up and when I do have time for leisure writing it's now mostly short stories that I'll likely never share with anyone.

But while I'm getting sentimental over the fun that was My Idea of Happiness, here is a quick list I put together of the great times we had together. Thank you, dear reader, it was a slice.

You came along with me as I ate and drank delicious things including...
Twin Pines orchard & ciderhouse
Fire Roasted Coffee / Habitual Chocolate
Chil Frozen Yogurt
The Root Cellar organic cafe
Goodah Gastro food truck
That Crepe Place & Bakery, St Thomas
Richmond Station, Toronto

I packed you in my luggage on various travels including...
Curitia, Brazil
Los Angeles
Chicago
Cocoa Beach, FL
Cayo Santa Maria, Cuba
Great Wolfe Lodge (Traverse City, Michigan)
Huntsville
Trump International, Toronto

I was overwhelmed by the generosity of many kind-minded companies who sponosed My Idea of Happiness, or just made incredible products that I couldn't help but review and promote, or sat down with me for interviews on the great work that they do...

We saw plenty of contribution from the strange & beautiful people in my life, not limited to...
