Hello. I am back from the center of the universe. No, it wasn't a quest of Tolkien proportions, but merely a visit to my cousin in Toronto (aka the center of the universe).

I had a good time despite the humidity and the lingering sewer smell. I apparently visited many places my cousin hasn't been to in the four years he's been there. Yes, I'm very much a tourist. So I went to the Zoo, to the Toronto Islands, to Niagara Falls, and to the Stratford and Shaw festivals. I have attached a photo of which I am fairly proud. Not only did I take it myself, I managed to get the CN Tower in a somewhat good position behind me, AND I also managed to hide my girth.

Stay tuned for more developments.
