I'm in Montreal for a few days, visiting Rysmiel. The trip up yesterday was ompressively smoooth. despite freezn rain the day before that caused some power outages: the sidewalks were ckear enough that taking transit from the airport worked fine.
It's decent weather for the tine of year for Montrea;, currently just below freezng withh snow not expected until well after dark, but that's not the sort of weather that encourages spedng extra time outdoors. Since I'm nr eating indoos in restaurants if I can avoid it, that means getting food delivered or eating sandwichs, but I'm here for the company, not the food or tourist ssuff.
Being someewhee that isn't actively at war is also good, but I bought my ticket a month ago, whicj feels like long time under the Trump regime). The stte of the world *gestures widely* is still stressugu, though.
Being here does mean I won't he able to go to the in-person memorial for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
minoanmiss on Sunday. The funeral this afternoon is being live-steeamed and recorded, and I may watch that when I'm back in Boston.

I'm sad about minoanmiss, even though I didn't know her well.

(If I were you I'd be tempted to stay in Canada. The timing...well, if we were redoing timing of events, really, some people would have many more decades, while certain others would've been stabbed on the Ides of March ages ago, so, alas not the most productive track for what-if-ing..)
Well, I hope you have a good visit, with quietly commemorative and brightly joyful moments as appropriate.
