We meet at Cloud Gardens then run through the Financial District.  If ever you wanna come go here for details.

From left to right:

– that’s my very favorite thing to do here… I run and kick up that wall, pull myself up those bars and the best part is swinging up to the railing ontop because it feels like for one second I’m weightless

– the jump I pansied out on.  I almost did it but then climbed back over the railing.  I don’t know why I’m being a baby about it, I did it last yearmarch 27 2009

– my head went right in-between those two posts.  We’ll call that extremely lucky.  I threw myself over a railing in a turn vault, lost it, pitched forward with some speed and that’s where my head went.  That would have been a good concussion, my ninth, so whew to that.  It was a foolish mistake, I woke up a fever so I’m kinda off

– then I kong vaulted that, I got my kong back!  Took me a while to make it over without putting my feet down.  This sport is 80% mental and konging a concrete barrier is how I hurt myself so badly in October.  So ya, kinda proud.  Then I did 10 in a row to memorize the feeling, and sent myself home.

Much better than the first time; cleaner, sleeker, Jody would approve.

Evan of Artik did a test for me on their linen card stock but my logo comes out fuzzy because of the fibrous material, so no.  

When I asked if I could keep the test page he looked at me strangely, “but how often do you get to see your signature printed out that many times?”.  

I went to a… ready?… aerobics class!  I met up with my friend, she goes all the time, and grape-vined my heart out.  I quietly added in some jazz hands for pizazz. 

Then we went and grabbed a coffee and drank it while looking at this, pretty huh?  We’re at Balmy Beach in the Beaches, and not far from my new favorite place in Toronto.

Now that I know all about calories and actually care I looked up how many of them I was going to be eating tonight before I went over (1650).  But what I found was more interesting.

George Tidball founded The Keg chain of restaurants in 1971.  The first one was in North Vancouver, now there are over 100 of them.  But you know what George did before that? He was the first person ever to bring McDonald’s to Canada, 1967.  I know, wow.

I met my friend Winnie at the one on York Street.  We always sit at the bar and eat among the action.  Thursday nights are very busy here with all the financial and Bay Street people. Which makes me wonder… since these are the people who affect Canada’s finances are Friday’s financialy effed because they’re all hung over?

And just to say it, no less than four guys came up to us to say how amazed they were to see us both eating not just a salad.  I had the filet mignon and Winnie, she can eat a 16oz. ribsteak.  That is impressive.
