Tonight I decided to finally go to a Mongolian restaurant that I spotted two visits ago. I had a blast! The meal included the proprietor and some of the guests singing in Mongolian and Japanese. I contributed what I could remember of "I's The B'ye" when one of the guests asked about Canadian traditional music.

all you can eat Mongolian

It's "all you can eat", and this was way more than my 53-year-old self could eat.

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."
