Maple Leafs

I never listen, do I? Connie (indigosunmoon) told me to bring my camera. I did, but I left it in the room when I went for an early morning walk along the skyway near the SkyDome. I ran into something being filmed, so I took some stairs out to the street level. Suddenly a young guy, attractive, in good shape, wearing spandex shorts, comes flying up the stairs. So I moved to the side, since he had others following behind him. I couldn't see around the corner, but they just kept coming. Oh, the view!

They very politely and quietly walked past me, smiling, thanking me for waiting, until I finally asked one how many of them there were. He said 15, and that they were almost all there now. I heard a little ding in my head when I saw an older man following them, carrying a clipboard. Uh huh. "What was THAT?" I asked the man, with a smile. He said, "The Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Team." "Oh, my," I breathed. OK, I have seen all the sights to see here in Toronto.

Sorry I didn't have the camera with me. I think they probably appreciated my not asking for autographs or pictures, since they were sneaking up those back steps. Still. It would have made my daughter happy if I had gotten some photos.

So I continued my walk, going down to Lake Ontario, by way of the SkyDome, right next to the CN Tower.  I saw some men setting up some hot dog stands pretty early when there was no one around, so I asked if there was going to be a game today. Yes! I got a ticket and will be going to the Blue Jays baseball game in about an hour.

While I was quite freaked by the drive, especially the freeway system in downtown Toronto, I am very glad I came. Tomorrow the malls!
