Hello hello, Thursday was the big march but I was so tired by the end of that day that I could hardly concentrate. But here are some pictures, including one of yours truly, and a whole bunch of Indigenous youth and other youths and marchers and paper fishes for you to look at, if you want! And here's a great article about the march! (Spot the ( Read more... )

I spent my day driving around the city running errands with Peter. We left the house a little after 10 this morning, returned briefly at about 1 to pick up Kathy & Rezhiar, and didn't return again until 11 tonight. That was a day! I'm glad I could mostly spend it with Peter, or the whole thing would've been much more stressful. In related news, I ( Read more... )

Well today I went on a nice bike ride, for the first time since like November, and I didn't die! Or even pass out! Tomorrow I may be very sore, but that is quite beside the point ( Read more... )

I'm sure some of you are quite tired of the snow, but today was Toronto's first major snowstorm of the season and I am happy.

I had an appointment at 9 this morning and successfully arrived on time, which I didn't realize was something of a miracle until much later. This was during the first wave of snow, and I was quite grateful to have found a ( Read more... )

This past weekend, while Nathaniel visited me in Toronto, we went with Peter and Ken to Peter's friends' house for their annual Christmas Carol Singalong. I wasn't sure what to expect, though Peter said that in previous years there has been sushi on the food table, so I decided to hope for that. And maybe we would sing a few carols ( Read more... )

Aw heck it's been another four days without an update.

I remain intensely interested in the musical Hamilton. I read A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett, which I found delightful and girded with wise, wise words. Tonight a neighbor came over and together we made pumpkin sausage pasta, which took care of half the sausage in the fridge, some of the ( Read more... )
