Boy,
I'm not very proactive about updating this blog, comparing it to some of my friends blogs, or whatever people who don't want to think that they're writing blogs call them. But that's not going to stop me from only having something to say every few days (such as that is), and subsequently only updating this one sporadically. The theory is, once I enter a strange and foreign country, I'll have more to say, or at least be taking more pictures, so I can put up links to those.
Ahora, estoy en Toronto. It's nice, I guess, but I've really only been here for a few hours. The drive in was confusing, because driving into Toronto is like "forest, trees, highway, big high rise, forest and trees, high rise complex, more trees, cemetary, more trees, downtown Toronto." That's strange. I guess I expected something more like, "trees, fewer trees, ugly industry, residences and stores, ritzy stores, downtown Toronto."
My dad lives in downtown Toronto. This is cool, I guess, but I've really only been here for a couple of hours, so how am I to know? I went to an italian restaurant, and had a nice couple of glasses of fancy Chilean wine and some pizza that was good. I played my album for my dad, and now I'm watching TV and letting the wine sink in, until I fall asleep, which will most likely be soon, tempting and time-consuming internet and TV aside.
The Magnetic Fields are a good band. Love, Music, Wine, and Revolution. The only thing I'm missing is the love and revolution today. Perhaps tomorrow. I've only been here for a few hours, so what do I know about the love/revolution scene in this part of Toronto. Love is on the way, though, because Anna flies in on Thursday, Dios-willing. So everybody make sure that you've got your minds on a safe and uneventful flight for Anna on Thursday afternoon, after around lunchtime Minnesota time, and through 4:00PM east coast time.
peace out.

PS: Robin, if you're out there, I'm listening to the mix I made for you. Did you like it?
