Well Well Well

So the Parents have headed back to the ow-so-wintery Winnipeg, just in time to catch a snow storm. There's on of the drawbacks to working at home: bad weather is just no excuse.

Anyways the week with parents was fun, they got to see Toronto the surrounds. Went out for dinner a few times (Vegan, Italian, El Salvadorian, Polish, and Korean) went to the McMichael gallery on Rememberance day, or have they re-named it to be Vetran's Day? It's been Vetrans day in the States for a while but I seem to be hearing it more and more north of the border. Maybe they are switching the focus from World War II to vetrans of all wars?

Either way we went to the McMichael gallery and it was pretty interesting, for those that don't know it's home to a large Group of Seven collection, with some First Nations thrown in for good measure. Here are some photos of the event:

mark,

remembrance day as always been about all the wars, not just WWII. No plans to rename it, as far as I know, although this is the year of the Veteran.
