Sunday April 19 – Riding the Humber, Again
On my second ride down the Humber this year, I invited Patti to come along. I mapped the ride from the Toronto Public Library on Humberwood Boulevard down to the lake and found it to be 50km return. We weren’t sure if we could go that far this early in the season but decided toContinue reading “Sunday April 19 – Riding the Humber, Again”
Sunday March 30 – Riding the Humber
Years ago, before the Humber River Trail, went under the 401, I rode a part of it with Patti. We didn’t go far.

Patti’s recollection is that we got ice cream at Dairy Queen on WestonContinue reading “Sunday March 30 – Riding the Humber”

Sunday September 7 – Wicked and Some Toronto Theatre History
Alun likes musical theatre in general and Wicked in particular. He often listens to the soundtrack on his phone. When we learned that Wicked was coming to Toronto we asked him if he would like tickets for his birthday and he did. So back in May, when tickets first went on sale, he and IContinue reading “Sunday September 7 – Wicked and Some Toronto Theatre History”
A Day out at the AGO
Today Trystan, Owen and I decided to use one of the coupons in the 2014 Fun Pass that the Ontario government provides to schoolchildren in their report cards each year. I don’t think we have ever used one of the coupons before. We drove to Kipling subway station where the north lot was already full.Continue reading “A Day out at the AGO”
