Today we went to the first home game for Toronto FC. We went with GH and Kavita and despite the chilly temperature, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was fantastic! I am definitely hooked, despite the fact that we lost. Again. 0-4 to open a season is not a good omen for what’s to come, but these [...]

Dinner at Izakaya
Published by April 27th, 2007 in 2007, Chris and Leah, Food & Wine and Goin' Out. 1 CommentTonight, as we do every Friday night, Leah and I went out for dinner. But for a change of scenery, we headed into the city. Our original plan was to have dinner at The Bier Markt, but the wait was 50 minutes, so we decided to wander up to Front Street and hit Spring Rolls. [...]
An interesting bit from today’s Globe and Mail:
You tell yourself
My heart is broken.
Science tells you
Brain imaging studies have shown that romantic rejection hurts like physical pain. Helen Fisher of Rutgers University proved that the same circuits of grey matter are triggered whether you have broken up or broken a leg.
Your buddies tell you [...]
Last week, I finally placed my feet in Chicago. For some reason, it’s a city I’ve always wanted to visit. So, when a writing workshop in Chicago came up I jumped at the chance to attend.
I arrived in the windy city to a blizzard! Yes, a blizzard in April…yuck! This put [...]
Spend any time with me and you’ll quickly learn that I love Harry Connick jr. Maybe it was all those year’s listening to jazz wafting out of my grandpa’s bedroom door, or maybe it’s the depth of the music itself – whatever it the reason, I have been hooked on Harry since his “Blue [...]

We had scheduled a couples massage and manicure at the Pantages Spa; and then dinner at The Keg followed by seeing Harry Connick Jr. in concert at The Hummingbird Centre.
We booked our spa session through WaySpa.com and received a confirmation [...]
I Need A Refill On The Prescription You Gave Me.

While sitting in the waiting room, a couple came in with their Daschund, looking for a refill on a prescription that the vet previously issued them. (The couple are new Canadians from Poland and their grasp of English is [...]
Why is Al Sharpton involved?
Why is this newsworthy?
Al Sharpton is a media whore. Nothing more. And he has somehow parlayed being an outspoken jack ass into full time gig! I can’t stand the guy. He parades around, with cameras and reporters in tow, like he’s a god. Just because he continually tells you that [...]
I know it’s almost old news, but I finally got around to getting a pic of the ring I gave Leah. Without any further delay, here ’tis!
OK.
This weekend is my weekend to catch up on all kinds of things that I’ve fallen behind on:
1. Ring pic
2. Wedding plans – started them…
3. Condo changes – rearrange furniture, hang prints, figure out solution for coffee bean bags (more on the last one in another post!)
4. Check my 6/49 tickets!
5. Finishing editing a concert [...]
