familiar Toronto

The city is already starting to feel more familiar. We came down from Huronia quite early to avoid the traffic, and picked up my aunt Laurie for a side-trip to St. Catharines. Laurie's been living in a new place for the first time in twelve years; at a spot just off of the Humber river. In St. Catharines, they visited with an old family friend who's suffered a series of strokes and who is bed-ridden. While they did that, I went for a walk along one of the parks on the lake. Poor St. Kitts; all that lake frontage, and no real beaches.
In the weekend paper, I learned that one of my former coworkers has had a steady column in the Star for a couple of years.
