Blue Skies




I love sunny blue skies. Yesterday was a great one. Today looks like a great one too. If you'd listened to the hyped up weather reporters on Friday, one would hardly dare venturing out yesterday, due to the cold and the severe wind chill.

What wasn't there yesterday? Wind. No wind, plus the sun factor. What was it? Warm. The sun is getting much stronger here now as winter draws to a close. It was a great day for a hike. I actually had to lose my hat, and at times, my gloves as I was getting too warm. Only issue, after the rain last week followed by the deep freeze, was ice. Lots of very icy sections along the trail.





As you can see, the path was mostly ok. This one starts close to where I live and ends close to Dupont street. For a change of scenery on the walk home there's an Irish pub called The Pour House (Irish stew and a pint of Boddingtons makes a great lunch) and going back via Spadina brings you right alongside Casa Loma

Exhilerating, Peter! Casa Loma is beautiful! For me, a hike to such a watering hole would have felt like a holiday. Lovely!

Yes, Leonard got the shaft from his manager and though he had his day in court and won, he hasn't been able to get anything from her. But you're right. I'm sure he'll do well on tour! As for me? I'm still considering. The price of tickets are going for $400to $1000 in New York. Luckily, I have much of his music and the
"I'm Your Man" DVD to enjoy!

Thank you for your birthday greeting, Peter! And happy belated birthday to you! Again, I'm admiring your milieu, and was thinking, what more can one ask for? :))
