Here's a photo I took yesterday as i biked from Etobicoke to downtown Toronto. It's an amazingly straight forward and easy ride, cutting along the waterfront pretty much the whole way. It took me about an hour and a half one way. On the way back I ran into a thunderstorm and had my wife rescue me. Please don't judge me..... I am very sore today.

Finally got my bike out! Thanks Dave for getting it all fixed up for me. Toronto is an ideal city for biking, in my experience anyway. I'm from Halifax which is either rocky or hilly depending on where you are.
It's strange biking downtown along the Lakeshore, because it feels rural almost the whole way with the spire of the CN Tower always in the distance.I don't have a licence and never learned how to drive so bikes are a pretty essential part of my lifestyle. There is a great cycling map for Toronto right here.

Now Playing - Blue Heaven by The Pogues Book Reviews - OoohErr, that's a crooked photo.... I've decided to do something new with the format of my book reviews. They take me a while to write up usually, and I'm typically pretty "Meh" about them anyway, so from now on, until it's no longer the case, of course, I'm using a new review format. I'll integrate them into my regular updates and

Julie's Dad took me to the St. Laurence Market this morning. So much stuff there, it really blows away the markets in Nova Scotia. I bought a book about Sumi-e painting and a BLT. Afterwards we toured around town and I bought copies of the new Giant Robot and Juxtapose. Finally we went to a Running Room clearance center where I bought a watch/stopwatch/heart rate monitor thing that I am currently trying to figure out. I thought the city looked wonderful in the rain, like a painting.

Solo Lipnik - UUZO Praha - Pronti Tetanu label - 1960s?
Super cool matchbox label from Czechoslovakia. Pretty intense colors. Nothing like taking a bike ride through a field of ketchup. Can anyone translate the text?

Enola is back right where she left off!
She has set up shop in January 1889 as London's only Scientific Perditorian. Of course, she is in disguise as Miss Meshle, a secretary. She is shocked when her first client is none other than Dr. John Watson, friend of her famous brother, Sherlock Holmes. It seems that Sherlock is beside himself that he cannot locate his younger sister Enola.
Enola, of course, is quite pleased that she is hiding right underneath her brother's nose, and feels that she can use Miss Meshle's new relationship with Dr. Watson to her advantage.
Enola is not just using her time to hide from her brothers and boarding school. She is continuing the search for her mother, using the magazines and cipher codes that she knows her mother will read and recognize. Soon enough, she is in communication with her mother. While she is partly happy, Enola is still angry with her mother for leaving her on her own, and at the mercy of her older brothers.
She is also on the hunt for the missing daughter of Lady Theodora Alistaire. The disappearance has been hushed up due to it's discrete nature...it seems that she has run away with a love interest. Upon examination of Lady Cecily's room, however, Enola fears that the young lady did not leave of her own volition.
Chock full of Victorian age details, Nancy Springer has a hit series on her hands. From the stench of poverty, to the pervasive flim-flam artists of the day, the setting and characters seem real. Readers will fear for Enola and Cecily, and be caught up turning pages to find out what happens next.
That IS creepy! Wouldn't you like to wander around in there, tho?
Oh yeah...I think I would definitely make sure I was on the opposite side of the street. That is a creepy building.
This house would freak me out all right! brrrrr...
OMG, where is it - I want to do a painting of it before they tear it down.
