Traffic was pretty slow along the QEW heading back to Toronto after my inaugural trip yesterday to the Royal Botanical Gardens, and the smog alert was in full force (index of 6). Something tells me this summer’s going to be as brutal as the past winter…
I made it to Sushi on Bloor and — incredibly — found a spot to park by the restaurant. We only had the room until 7pm, so I had just enough time to meet the crowd and take care of some leftovers. The restaurant was abuzz with sushi-lovers and our bunch alone took up about a third of the second floor space; ordering something from the menu seemed a little too optimistic for a deadline.
Over sushi, I congratulated the participating CSers on their successful climb up the CN Tower last Thursday to raise money for WWF Canada. It’s been so long since I did the Grouse Grind that I wonder how I’d do climbing 1,776 steps (144 flights). But hey, I climbed The Chief in Squamish so maybe I’m underestimating myself. No mountains around here to climb, though.
The weekend weather had all of Toronto out in droves and many of those people were on Bloor Street walking by as we tried to take a group photo. It’s been such a long time since it’s been this warm that the city-wide wardrobe change seemed to happen overnight.
Back at the ranch, there was not one but TWO birthday cakes waiting for us.
