A grilled octopus tentacle from Ouzeri Greek restaurant on the Danforth in Toronto, in case you were wondering. Some friends from Vancouver are in town, arrived Sunday, hence the lack of posting. I can’t believe it was one year ago we were celebrating George‘s birthday (which is three days before David’s) at a Greek restaurant in Richmond.
David’s Weekend in Vancouver: Happy Birthday George!
My Terrific Canadian Mini-Holiday, Chapter 1
And, just like this grilled tentacle shipped from saltier waters in some distant location, here we all were again — but in Toronto. But I can’t express how good it feels to be with my friends after months of phone calls and e-mails. Since Rachael arrived in Toronto on May 25, I’ve had friends from Vancouver actually here, who I can talk to without the aid of an electronic device, and it makes all the difference in the world to me.

Wow! That picture looks better than the real thing.
It was great spending some time with you but it’s a good thing we did go home early. My scratchy throat has turned into a cold/flu. Ugh. Hope you are okay.
Take care.
Oh no! I had a feeling it would get worse. For me, those are the symptoms of the early stages of illness. Also, a better aircraft and your own bed makes a big difference.
I feel fine — symptom-free. Hugh sends his love and says get well soon and he’s looking forward to your next visit
[...] I took us to Ouzeri Restaurant, where you may recall in June I did partake of a rather large octopus tentacle. We didn’t order tentacles this time around, but everything we had was pretty good. Noriko and I both preferred the way they make the moussaka at Takis Taverna in Vancouver, but I got them to try the flambéed saganaki and that went down quite well, along with the calamari and lamb pie. Food on fire — how can you resist? [...]
