The blizzard of last Sunday did major damage at the neighbour's down the hill. Luckily the split trees didn't go through the front window! The ferry Chi-Cheemaun seemed to take the hint and bucked the waves into port for the winter.
Great news for Canada in the election --- the 10-year nightmare of spiteful divisiveness at the top is hopefully over. Justin Trudeau is the youngest (43) PM ever, and the first son of a Prime Minister to ever himself become PM. New generation, new mindset. The next morning we were back in Toronto, revisiting our Beach neighbourhood. Snowfence going up for winter, rain garden ready for spring.
Got swept up in Blue Jays fever as Game 5 was in town. First time in my life, bargained with scalpers but worth it --- good seats and got the Rally Towel. (Also got to wear my vintage Jay's jacket, a gift from meeting the General Manager in their first year 1977...) The town was talkin' and the crowd was rockin' but the Jays took a beating, and then lost the series. :( :(
Next night took in "Motown" the musical based on the unforgettable music of my era, of my hometowns Windsor and Detroit. To a guy who lived through it and actually met many of the singers, the show seemed overproduced and slicker than the gritty originals. For instance, where was the backup band The Funk Brothers?? Still, a high energy show with lots of amazing voices and dance moves. Best In Show? --- the kid who played the young Barry Gordy, young Stevie Wonder, and young Michael Jackson. With the Jackson 5 behind him, a real star.
That's it for today. Like the DeLorean from Back To The Future 25 years ago to the day, we're OUTATME.
