Playing hookey

I took a holiday the last week and a half, visiting my friends in Toronto and Mississauga but I guess that holiday also extended to blogging and reading and commenting on your blogs as well !

It was a great to know how the guys are moving on after finishing school. A couple of them are also getting married this summer and there is a possibility of a third wedding but we have yet to find that out.

Usually when the guys gather, we plan a road trip but this year, we had to scrap that plan due to gas prices that are now soaring at $1.25 a liter ($4.73 a gallon). I got around using transit, which thankfully is still affordable and let me point out to car lovers that even if fares for GO Transit have gone up, it’s still the most comfortable way to get around the Greater Toronto Area.

I have to be frank with you that I did have Internet access wherever I visited but it just didn’t feel right updating my blog and reading and commenting on your blogs by taking up their computing time. For me, checking my e-mail and responding only takes under five minutes but my other daily tasks also include twittering, catching up with the news, and reading and commenting on several blogs.
Besides I was tired of explaining every friend of a friend what Netvibes was, who the boyscout in that picture…

I have a couple of posts almost ready to go. Tomorrow many bloggers are campaining for human rights but I wont be participating and instead will write about it later in the year.

Now, it’s time for a lot of catching-up to do…
