well this is actually the first time in awhile I'm not doing anything  looks like it's pretty much watching movies and reading for myself today. But I usually head over to the next town for their parade and BBQ in the sun with some family.

how about you? I dunno.  I'm a sucker for fireworks and an excuse to BBQ, but for some strange reason I'm actually wanting to drive home to Ohio today to stay through the weekend.
I didn't know you were in Toronto, BTW. [Edited 7/1/09 8:23am] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Summer colds are the WORST!! That's where I'm at too! I've been sick since Sunday, fever and everything... I got mad scared, thinking it was that H1N1 virus... 
but yeah there's something brewing in the ol'lungs
i HATE being sick in the summer, but i don't mind that it's been raining the whole time, i'll be back to 100% by the time the sunshine comes back [...i think i can, i think i can, i think i can...] | |

[Edited 7/1/09 8:44am] The drive from Toronto to Cleveland is supposed to take about 4 1/2 hours, but construction between Toronto and Niagara Falls or crappy weather in Buffalo, NY, has stretched out the trip to as long as 8 hours.
Cleveland is home, but I will have been here in TO for 3 years as of September. I'm up for a couple graduate programs, and my daughter is in French Immersion. It's a cool city. I LOVE the mix of cultures. Glad you had a good time! Let us know when you come back up. Sammi has mentioned we should do a GTA orger meet-up. For the sake of numbers, I suppose we could extend it to all of Southern Ontario.  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Even I got bored of my ipod on the way up to Port Hope (a little over 4 hour drive).
and i'm glad you like it  I love that too always enjoy myself when I'm there.
 GTA/Southern Ontario meet-up sounds like fun!12/05/2011

I still wouldn't be caught dead eating ketchup potato chips, though. I haven't had those since I was a kid. I forgot they even existed. I was eyeing some Ruffles "All-Dressed" at Shoppers the other day, though.  Then I looked at the calorie count and the amount of carbs.  |

Viva la Toronto! Toronto's Canada Day Celebrations Cancelled
It's appears Canada Day is going to be a big fizzle in many parts of Toronto, with festivals, celebrations — even the city-sponsored fireworks display — cancelled. City officials say they cancelled the festivities because of the continuing strike by municipal workers. Without the unionized workers the shows can't go on — so the city is pulling the plug on about a dozen planned festivals, a sports tournament and even the traditional Canada Day fireworks display at Ashbridge's Bay. "I know many Torontonians look forward to our Canada Day celebrations," city manager Joe Pennachetti said at a Thursday afternoon news conference. "While we remain hopeful there will be a timely resolution to the strike, July 1 is fast approaching. Please be reminded that the city-run Canada Day events … and those that have permits to take place on city property, are cancelled." The Ashbridge's Bay fireworks display has been held for decades and brings thousands of people to Toronto's east-end beaches for the show. Jazz Festival unaffected Also included in the cancellations are normally well-attended celebrations at Mel Lastman Square, Kew Gardens, Earl Bales Park and Flemingdon Park. In addition to the Canada Day events, the city has also cancelled for the duration of the strike all events in Nathan Phillips Square, Metro Square and any other civic squares and parks. The Toronto Jazz Festival will go ahead. Organizers have posted a notice on their web site saying their events are not affected by the strike. "The festival is a self-contained event, run independently from the city," said a notice from Patrick Taylor, the executive producer of the festival. "We are not a city produced event but rather a charitable organization that has been planning this festival for months in advance. As the city's largest music festival, we look forward to putting on another great event." City officials say some of the Canada Day events may be able to go ahead — but only "on a modified basis" — if the strike ends by this weekend. Cancelled Events: Amesbury Canada Day, Amesbury Park Ashbridge's Bay Fireworks Canada Day Event, Earlscourt Park Somali-Canada Day, Earl Bales Park Ontario Australian Football Championships, Colonel Samuel Smith Park Peanut Town Festival, Oriole Park - North East York Toronto Canada Day, Stan Wadlow Park MPP Canada Day Event - Don Valley West MPP, Flemingdon Park Shomoy Mela, Detonia Park Canada Day Celebrations, Thompson Memorial Park/ Miliken District Park Canada Day Celebration, St. James Park New Country Canada Day Jam, Woodbine Park 16th Annual Neighbours Together, Riverdale Park East Canada Day Festival, Kew Gardens Canada Day, Mel Lastman Square  you don't get Canada Day anyway!
