What's wrong with global warming?

This weekend has been insanely beautiful. I awoke from my food coma this morning and proceeded to re-fill my champion stomach with poached eggs and toast and coffee on the back deck whilst absorbing all the glorious vitamin D streaming down from the solar orb hanging in the true blue sky. Ahhh see? doesn't this nice weather make everything all poetic?

Unfortunately, the pursuit of higher education required me to spend most of the day indoors surrounded by books and paper. By late afternoon however, I could no longer ignore the beckoning of the beautiful day and I hopped on my bike and headed over to Sunnybrook.

Apparently, every other resident of Toronto had the same idea in mind and everywhere I rode through was packed. Busier than I saw it all summer, actually. But despite all the cars and picknickers and walkers/bikers who don't know how to share the public paths (stay right for Christ's sake,) it was lovely to get out and start burning off Sunday nights full-blown Turkey dinner, plus all the Ninjabread I've been snacking on. I rode quite far down the lower Don River and the trees are starting to change colour, so now I want to go back again in a week or two. After an hour and a half of cyling, I honestly don't think there is anything on earth more poorly designed than a bicycle seat. I guess I'll be sticking with my other preferred physical activities, the first is jogging the second is spontaneous dance parties with Claire and Caroline.

  1. Can I move into your giant closet so I can join in the spontaneous dance parties?
