Get Outside!

I feel that I may have spent too much time in the house today. I sometimes feel guilty when doing this. It stems from the fact the weather was fair to good today. Vancouver has only six or seven months of good weather; therefore, it seems absolutely sinful to waste a non-rainy day.

I spent some of the morning reading up on financial implication of Canadian, tax-sheltered retirement savings plans. These are things one doesn't really investigate thoroughly until the time for cashing them in gets closer. We've always maxed-out our RRSP contributions, but this is not necessarily the best option for poorer folks like us.

Nevertheless, when I figured I'd had enough, I put on the full-sized, Sony headphones, plugged them into my phone, and headed uptown for a walk. The afternoon exercise made me feel better. It always does, but I never seem to remember that as encouragement for a subsequent occasion. I walked up through Tipperary Park and noticed the Thursday Farmers' Market was on. I didn't bother checking out the stalls and there was nothing I needed to buy.

Even though there's a great new river-front park in town, I still appreciate the park near New Westminster's City Hall.
