"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Hooray!

My good friend, Carl, is arriving by train tonight at Union Station in Toronto where I am picking him up. This is a long over-due visit from one of my San Francisco friends. (Yes, I am hinting to the rest of you!! Including family...) He was supposed to arrive at 7:45, but his train was delayed for over two hours in Ithaca, New York. So much for the glamour of railway travel. His late arrival will most likely put the kibosh on my evil plan of SUSHI at Japango, but I hope to remedy that tomorrow evening.

Tomorrow I am playing hooky from work and we are doing the TO tourist thang: driving through Queen's Park, ogling (and perhaps ascending) the CN tower, driving along the waterfront and, most likely, going to the Royal Ontario Museum, which is known around these parts as the ROM. Or maybe the Bata Shoe Museum; I dunno exactly how Carl might feel about a museum dedicated to the wonder that is SHOES.

And Friday night, we are going to see LOTR:the Musical.

Yes, it's true, it took a gay friend from San Francisco to get me to go see the theatrical event of the Toronto season. I am so ashamed.

Bata is awesome! But so is the ROM. Hard choice.

Have fun at LOTR. I've heard...stuff. Let us know what you think.

Hey, Al. I'm sure Carl will tell me all about it, but yes, I second the comment above. Do tell. How was LOTR: the Musical. Is it the first of four lengthy musicals that tell the story? Is it sung in German? Oh, wait, that's the *other* Ring musical....
