My favorite hotels
I love beautiful hotels for architecture, history and sometimes for modernism.
These include the Paris Lutetia, the La Jolla Hilton in California, the Fairmount Hotel in Vancouver, the Château Frontenac in Quebec and the Manoir Bonne Entente in Sainte-Foy.
My health
Like an 80 year old car !
There are still many kilometers left despite the hazards:
- 2010 - 3 one-day surgeries
- 2012 - open heart operation - valve & 2 bridges
- 2015 - 2 one day surgeries
- 2022 - 1 one day surgery cancerous melanoma & lymph nodes removal
In short, an old car that has a slightly different problem every day !
The mental
At the CHUM in 2022, I was frequently asked to validate my name. Before going into the proton emission machine, I was asked my name again, as a nuclear physicist I answered EINSTEIN ! 🙂
My carbon footprints
My first youth !
In the first 10 years of my life, my family was completely ecological: a single radio, a phonograph, a rotary telephone, no TV, natural gas heating, one bath per week, local purchase, little used car , no travel.
My old age !
Some 3000 km auto per year, composting for 40 years, no back pool, no waste, end of travel, volunteering, fully autonomous in old age, walking and meditation, continuation of my long quiet journey of more than 52 years with my wife Louise.
Philosophy
I leave the succession of our youths to decide on their future without any feeling of having unduly contributed to the current climate changes.
