• Getting Up Earlier in the Morning

  

  Over the years, my sleeping habits have changed as my daily routine changed. Pre-covid, when I was still commuting more than one hour each way to the office (50 km drive from Mississauga to Victoria Park and Eglinton in North York), I would wake up around 6:00 am to 6:30 am, so that I can…

• Introducing Trickling Sand!

  

  Today, the name of my blog is changing from the very unique and creative “Felix’s Blog” 🤣 to “Trickling Sand”! This change has been in the making for several years.

• First Time in San Francisco

  I’m in San Francisco right now, on business.  It’s my first time to SF, but I haven’t seen much of it.  The 5 of us arrived Wednesday at 12:20 pm.  Got to the hotel by around 2:00 pm.  There was a World Junior Hockey finals at 7:30 pm EST (4:30 PST) and the crew wanted…
