After a near death experience on the Gardiner post taking Jake to the airport I headed out for a girls day with Bird. We walked, shopped, and consumed caffeine. Later we met up with Mups, who doled out the good news: She’s off to Italy with David Rocco’s Dolce Vita! Huzzah.Bridget was dying for Thai, so we treked up to Summerhill to our fave little Thai place (very pink and glass) .. East something, or West something. I had Tom Yam Soup. We drank wine. The lighting was great.

I bid farewell to my fine ladies and headed back to Rosedale to collect my stuff for the drive home. After another sojourn on the 401 I made it back to damp Kingy.

Here I reside until my Air Canada Welcome Aboard pass starts working. I’ve already booked about eight flights. Mark got one too, so we plan to grab a bite of cod in Newfoundland, catch a rock concert in Whitehorse, and of course I’ll be Vancouvationing soon.
