If your computer breaks, well, too bad. You are not going to find a techie or geek any place. They are all here in Toronto for a Microsoft show. I have never seen so many young men (mostly men, although there are some women) walking around in khaki pants and tucked in shirts. They have laptops and techie toys in their little hands and a Microsoft tag around their necks. I have been walking all over and have seen the MS IDs more than a mile away. I find them strangely sexy.
The good news is that if anything here breaks, I am covered!
I still haven't made it to the CN Tower, although it seems touchable outside my window. If I could get some distance on a jump, I could probably smack head first into it. I hear there is a glass floor up there to stand on. I can't wait!
Today I went shopping instead. I hit Eaton Centre on Yonge Street. I was walking for most of the day. While they predicted rain all I saw was a touch of haze on Lake Ontario, which is also right out the window. After Eaton Centre, I walked down Queen Street and browsed the little boutiques. What a pretty city. There was a public forum box for someone to stand on a give an opinion on anything. It made me think of a few gentle journalers. I didn't buy anything, but I enjoyed the walk and the lovely weather. I also like listening to Canadians talk, ay? It's hawt outside, not at all like hawk-key weather.
Now I think I need a nice, long, hot bubble bath. Then another walk. My dogs are staying with some friends who live in the country, and I am past feeling guilty for walking so much without them when I heard what fun they are having without me. The cat is home, happy to be dog free for a few days.
I do not want to go home. I don't ever want to drive this downtown Toronto freeway system again! I am the type who can get lost in a bathroom. I swear the sun was on the wrong side of the car on the way here. I was told to take the Gardiner expressway to get here, and also the Queen Elizabeth. At one point, I was on the 427 or something and it split in two - into the Gardiner and the Queen Elizabeth. Did you hear me scream?

Thanks for sharing the excursion to cannuckville. My ex is from a little town up the St lawrence seaway called Baie Comeau or something like that.. in Quebec. I've not seen the country much but it does sound very beautiful and I love hearing about it. Ask one of those tech-ies about which handheld GPS they recommend. Its a great way to not get lost on the way to the bathroom :-)
not too into that MS-khakis-oxford shirt with embroidered company logo-look... you'll have to explain the appeal to me. The trip sounds lovely... Albert
