Just a brief note to say that I spent a lovely, warm and sunny Canada day Thursday with Dean and Debra, as they made a Toronto stop on the Slipping Acres East Coast Tour 2004. They took the new ferry over from Rochester, NY (which, they told me, for some reason hugs the shore of the lake for the entire journey. Someone should explain to the captain that cutting straight across the lake would make for a speedier journey. Are they not teaching physics in high school any more?).
We took a stroll down Queen Street West, saw a movie being filmed at the old Bay building where they had turned one side of it into Madison Square Garden circa the 1920s/30s, complete with replica marquee advertising a boxing match. Then we got high...did the CN Tower trip. They didn't enjoy the glass floor as much as I did. Then we went down to harbourfront where we chilled and enjoyed some refreshments, and later caught some reggae and a set from the Rheostatics. Saw a glimpse of some fireworks. Even got to sing O Canada!
A very enjoyable day with some fine folks. Next time guys, come for a few days and we'll do the town up right!
