I'm going to do this in two parts. This will be part one. This section I will give a quick explanation about who I visited and what I did. And the second will be important for everyone to read. For those in my life it will affect to some degree... (In a fun and completely useless way). I just need time to do a proper write up.
My Toronto trip was great! I left on the Thursday and spent a night at My Aunt and Uncles in Sudbury. Then it was on to Oakville to stay with Shannon and Nick. Nick being the gourmet cook, made us chicken cordon bleu from scratch! Impressive. Jen Stewart, Pete and Bob came. We wined and dined and then found the cosby sweater and put it to good use. (A detailed explanation will follow, via next post. )
We went to a shag in Oakville that cost 15 dollars to get in and the drinks were 5 for 20 dollars! I think if someone in tbay tried to do that, they'd get beat up.
After the visit at Shannon's I went and stayed with Christine, Simon and Ella. It was awesome. I loved hanging out with Ella (and those parents of hers). I took quite a few pics and videos. Simon posted them on their site for Ella. I have provided a link, in my sites I like section. The pics of the baby are super cute and Simon's writing cracks me up.
After that it was on to Toronto where I stayed with Liana. We met up with Bob Commandador from High school and had some pints. The next day I had lunch with Donald Scott in Kensington Market.
Now while I was in Toronto, I made very few purchases... I found an art store to help with my pastel addiction and Simon introduced me to a dangerous place for music lovers of my kind, 'Rotate this' on Queen. Loved it, but won't be buying cd's anytime soon.
From there it was on to Gerry and Laura's where I had another amazing meal and got to hang out with Laurie Woodall (friend from Sheridan C). Something that I found very amusing was that Gerry and Laura recently finished redoing their basement. While they were in the planning stages, Laura was mentioning to Gerry that it was too bad they couldn't put in a bathroom downstairs for him and his drinking buddies to use. This was when Gerry pointed out that there was a laundry bin that they could pee in... Once Laura kiboshed that idea she suggested that they put in a urinal beside the laundry tub that him and his friends could use. The picture says it all.
After that night I headed home. I managed to stop off in Barrie and had coffee with Adam and Carys. It was great to see them and they seem to be doing very well in Barrie so that was cool.
After that, it was a night in Sudbury where I was so tired on St. Patty's Day that I went to bed at 10:00. Pretty sad eh.
Anyway, I am tired and this is more of a detailed journal entry. I am going to post some pics of the events... I will try and post the second half as soon as my laziness is overcome...
