Weekend Fun

We were in Toronto visiting Tania last weekend. While there, we knocked a few items off our to-do list: visit the Toronto Zoo, the new Apple store in the Yorkdale mall and, finally, get properly sized brassieres for my girls. We also stopped in at a science and telescope store, EfstonScience, near the mall.

Results from the weekend:

The zoo is huge: next time I bring better walking shoes. My zoo pics are now up as are Jon's.

Apple store was, well, a mall store ... not as impressive as I'd hoped, but hey, it's in a mall - what can you expect?

EfstonScience was fun and dangerous - so many "toys", like lab ware and microscopes, so little money!

Shopping for the "girls" was an eye opener! I must've spent a good couple hours in there but now I'm, for once, properly sized and fitted! I won't say what my new size is, but it has changed! Great customer service and attention to detail at the store! Tania found it and is quickly converting everyone she knows to them! If you're ever in Toronto and need a fitting, visit this store!!

Log Drivers Waltz

I remember this little film put out by the National Film Board of Canada from when I was young. It has a catchy little tune that sticks in your head no matter what you do to get rid of it. I love it!



Incidentally, the NFB has put 50 of its short films online. I'm not sure how long the films will be available but they're well worth a visit (via). The Log Driver's Waltz is not among the 50 shorts, but other equally good films such as The Cat Came Back and The Sweater are.
