Where was I? Oh, yeah...

On friday we met up with the recordists, and after rides on trolleys, subways, and a ferry boat, found ourselves on an island in Lake Ontario. While waiting for the ferry, Willow partook in her latest passion: chasing pigeons. From that moment on, she pointed out every pigeon we passed. The island itself was green, with drifting clouds of fluff giving it a magical quality. Sherry entertained us with a story of the time she saw a cat covered in little drifts of the stuff - it had evidently been sitting in the same place too long. I'm not sure which type of plant it was coming from.
We wandered a bit, swung on some swings, and splashed in the water. On the way back to the ferry, the place that sold ice cream closed just before we could get to it. Those evil, evil people.

Current 93 played longer than the previous night, including more new material in the set. The pianist, Graham, who I found out was David's neighbor (which meant I'd met his kids) even played one song on the church's old pipe organ. Jen had to spend the majority of the time outside with Willow, who couldn't quietly contain her excitement about the proceedings. I felt a little guilty about this, but she turned down my offers to switch places with her. She got to sit on the lawn and drink beers with Steve, who was also lurking outside. Willow continued to attract admiring attention. On the way back to the hotel, the prostitutes who were hanging out down the street said she was a "cute baby". It just goes to show that people from all walks of life are in agreement about Willow.

More Toronto tomorrow. I now only have 4 more delivery days left. Next week will be interesting, since I start science camp as well. There is a three day overlap, which means for the first part of the week I will get very little sleep.

cds I listened to while realizing that at the end of next week I won't be a paperboy anymore: 50 Foot Wave "s/t", Simon Finn "Silent City Creep", Rasputina "Frustration Plantation", Demi Semi Quaver "???/After Cherry", Christdriver "Everything Burns", Cowboy Junkies "In the Time Before Llamas", and The Does/Breathe Stone "Sleep Deprivation Blues/Crow Omens"
