Coming Off the Weekend

What a glorious weekend!

This past weekend was the first weekend I had off for 2006. Crazy. 9 weeks of teacher training can take its toll on your pysche. Mother nature smiled on Hil and I, and Saturday we saw sunny skies and warm weather. The streets were packed with people, happy people (the sun always makes people happy), as we meandered through our epic 4 hour walk. Down Queen W, up the back streets with the packed townhomes, across the shops of College, then further north to Bloor, past the pit of Christie Pits, through Korea Town, Honest Ed's, and down through our Kensington Market to pick up some groceries.

Whew - just writing it makes my legs feel tired.

A good social weekend. Talked with Lane, and Stu, and Mike and we had lots of company over. By the end of it all, I was drained.
