The Time Capsule… what to do?
I am now in Canada. I left India on the red-eye Thursday night, arriving into Hong Kong at about 3:30 Friday afternoon. I went directly to the office until midnight, then headed home. Saturday morning I had a long list of chores – our new helpers are re-painting the flat so the place was in complete chaos but progress being made on sprucing the dwelling up. Saturday late afternoon I left for Canada at 6:30 pm on the new Oasis Airlines. The CEO and one of the founders, Steve Miller, attends Union Church. Upon checking in I discovered he arranged an upgrade to Business Class! Twelve hours later I arrived into Vancouver (now it is Saturday afternoon). I had an hour to kill – did some quick shopping, got my hair cut by Franko and as I came up the ramp to the domestic departure hall miraculously bumped into Gran who I was supposed to meet about ten minutes later at the West Jet check-in. (Gran – Helen Ardagh – is Tess’ grandmother and Sebastian and the Terrific Trio’s great grandmother.) We flew West Jet to Kelowna and 90 minutes after arriving ended up at Fintry on the north shore of gorgeous Lake Okanagan. Other than my wonderful family and in-laws, one of the people waiting for me was Anne Fox – a Toronto friend since 1977. Anne stayed until last night. Each night we sat beneath the stars sipping a cocktail while I enjoyed a cigar. On one of the more inspired evenings my trusty Sony digital camera took the above picture. Now… here is my dilemma…
Last year, while at Fintry, we made a time capsule that Sebastian and I hid on our last morning before driving back to Vancouver. Seb and I are the only ones who know the time capsule’s whereabouts and frankly, Sebastian claims he has forgotten! The time capsule contains many treasures, letters from various people who attended Fintry last year and a memory stick with short video messages. My intention at the time was to open the time capsule this year. Some people agree with me – yes open it this year – and others say, no, wait for another five years.
What do you think?
