-8°C on the third day of Spring

Toronto, 2017.03.23

It's -8°C on the third day of Spring – it must be Toronto! That said, it's a beautiful blue day.

Three good things that happened today:

  1. Tried Columbian street food for the first time (from a restaurant in Toronto).

  2. We got our tax refund. Whew!

  3. Our daughter made some endearing work for her Japanese homework; a lovely drawing of her brother and one of his classmates on stage at the annual talent show their school puts on every year.

rand()m quote

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
