Here's a good one.
I was going to leave my dad's apartment in Toronto yesterday around 2:45, to catch a 3:20 train. I was going to meet dad out front. At 2:20, he walks in. "Are you ready? Apparently, some guy took a woman hostage at the train station this morning and it's all taped off, so we should leave early in case there are any delays." Or something like that.
It turns out that yesterday morning in Toronto, this fellow, enraged at his wife and under a restraining order to stay away from her and from guns, brings a gun into the store where she works (across the street from the train station), shoots at her (misses), then beats her. Later on, when identified by the cops, he takes a hostage (in front of the train station), and fifteen minutes later gets shot in the head by a sniper. Apparently, the negotiations weren't going well.
When I was in the train station later that day, the police tape was still up.
So a little creepy, if random, incident. It's good for me, I suppose, that it happened earlier in the day, and not when I happened to be around. Also creepy was how normal life seemed to be in the area, considering that somebody got shot there hours before.
Here's where I say something pithy to sum the whole thing up.

That's crazy.
But what I wanted to say was that Dan sent me a link to your new album, and I think it is very awesome. I like it a whole lot, and I'm really impressed, but then again, I am always impressed when I hear you making music. Will you be posting more on here? I hope so, since I'm gonna be keeping tabs on this blog from now on. Take care!
