SNOW IN SUMMER, OZ IN T.O.

Today is Father's Day and we all had one. My dad passed on so much strength and wisdom without even knowing it. I try to honour him in all I do and everywhere I go on this beautiful planet...Happy Father's Day!

It's also the first day of summer and we're in Toronto for the start of our PanAm Games duties. The neighbourhood never looked better, even with the cottonwood trees making it look like snow in summer. In the park, hopeful thespians perform Hamlet in the hamlet. Where else can you sit on stage beside poor Yorick? Seat 2B or not 2B?



 We went out to Guelph for a fundraising event called "The Mad Bastards". You dress up in an outrageous costume, get on your underpowered motor scooter, and drive the back roads of Ontario for 600km in 24 hours. Sounds like fun, no?? We wanted to catch sight of my old Honda bike sold to one of the Bastards last year but it/he didn't show up. Did Colonel Saunders chicken out too?






We will be leaving our apartment again in September, after the PanAms and a festival-ful summer in the city. We're just not here enough to justify two homes, and the rental income helps out our winter travels. Not an easy decision because we love the neighbourhood and Toronto. (Any bets when we'll be back?!?!)




Also on this momentous day our friend Den arrived from Australia. Lots of laughs, old stories, and travel sharing coming up!
