The Lands Beyond

My only daughter, Dena, is moving to Vancouver for college. Her life packed in two suitcases + a guitar case. She will be 8,289 miles away from me, I will be 14 hours ahead of her. Have an awesome life journey sayang! Remember Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth when you were in grade 5? Go swim in the Sea of Knowledge, hop to the Island of Conclusions, visit Kingdom of Wisdom and watch out for Terrible Trivium & Senses Taker in the Mountains of Ignorance! I'm going to terribly miss you.
