Today was yet another example of the North wind bringing lots of migrants.
While the paving machinery groaned and clanked along beside us and the gorgeous
fall leaves danced around us we had a super day. Nobody could sit down for long
except me 'cause I can't write fast standing up.

You didn't miss it all, tomorrow we will have pretty much the same weather. Now
doesn't your throat feel a little raspy?
Whether walking or driving come in the Bloor St. entrance and go South to the
fenced- in Grenadier Restaurant (still open, though its a pain to go around and
in. Bring a thermos of something).
There should be parking along Colbourne Drive just East of the Hill.
Dress warmly and we'll see you there.
