… bike lanes on Bloor!
Reportedly 1500 cyclists were out yesterday, and I was one of them, to participate in Bells On Bloor: The Musical Ride. We rode from High Park to Queen’s Park along Bloor Street to send a message to the City of Toronto: Bloor Street needs bike lanes.
A familiar Critical Mass chant could be heard as we neared the end of the ride:
We’re not blocking traffic
We Are Traffic!

Create. Connect. Transform.
Getting ready for Center of Social Innovation‘s "The Party to End All Parties", being held at their second location (720 Bathurst Street, and Bloor) on Fri May 28, 2010. 400 tickets sold out.
CSI is "The home for world-changing innovators, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada!"
These awesome shirts are for sale at the party, and are produced by Me To We. Half of Me to We’s annual profits are given to their charitable partner Free The Children.
I’m volunteering at the event.
3′s About Me

I LOVE EVERYONE AND FEEL SO BLESSED FOR EACH DAY!
Now here’s what you do
Copy and paste, delete my answers and type in your answers. Then send this to a few good friends and family INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known things about each.
Let’s see who responds!!!
Montreal love affair
Bagels, fresh, soft, puffy bagels.
Sundried tomatoe, chocolate, garlic, sesame,
Blueberry, bagels, Fairmount bagels.
Spread on some Liberté cream cheese,
Or spicy hummus, or nutty goodness.
Sweet and sour explosion of kiwi, banana,
Strawberries, orange, fruit salad extraordinaire!
Rich coffee fresh off the metalic Italian Moka stove pot,
No instant here we go for the great stuff.
Familiar faces and new friends, smiles all round,
warm tummys, joyous.
Don’t forget the maple syrup!
A flurry of colour,
A symphony of voices,
Gypsy music,
Delicious smells, and
A melody of life.
Amazing flavours, merci
pour les oeufs frits Lydia!
Love. Brunch. Montreal.
