In Toronto on business, one more night here. I am holed up in the hotel room working on some files for a presentation tomorrow. Then I will have to run up the street to get everything printed. Then, I am going to flirt with danger, or at least an old boyfriend, over dinner someplace quiet [...]

Zumba zucks. There’s a registration fee wasted.

Ok, summer is officially and legally over. Sigh. The best weather of the season has been the three weeks since Labour Day weekend. I even went swimming yesterday! (yes, I was showing off.)
Sailorboy has been suffering through a nasty allergic reaction to something. He is covered in hives from the ears down, and the antihistamines [...]
