Shortly after the post below, I received a message from Rogers on my BlackBerry that said I'd reached 80% of my maximum data plan for the current billing period. I panicked a little and decided to stop blogging temporarily... at least mobile blogging... until I got confirmation that I did or didn't have anything to worry about. (Still waiting for that confirmation BTW...)
So anyway, without the pleasure of photographic accompaniment, here's what else I can remember from Toronto.
Monday night: Canoe Restaurant, 54 floors above downtown Toronto. Food was good but contained too many mushrooms (in almost every dish). Company was great. View was great, but a little dark. Thanks to Joe (from Washington - in order to differentiate him from the other two Joes referenced below) for the invite.
Tuesday: Conference.
Tuesday afternoon: Intense negotiations.
Tuesday night: Host event at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Absolutely fantastic. For the men anyway. I got my picture taken in my Jets jersey with the Stanley Cup (although there was some sort of magnetic force that seemed to push the Jets jersey away from the Cup itself). Also won one of the skill competitions... the accuracy rapid fire one (sort of the Ray Bourque event). My time for hitting all 9 targets was 13.1 seconds. Second fastest time was 14.3 seconds, also by me. Third best was 15 seconds by Joe from Toronto. Joe and Doug from Boston also put in very good scores, but other than that... meh. No one else was really a hockey player. So it was nice to win (no prize), but the competition really wasn't that fierce. Thank you to Steve, Eileen, Janine and the gang. And Keith. He probably really made it happen.
Wednesday morning: Conference.
Wednesday afternoon: Shoe shopping assistant. As always.
Wednesday night: Host event at Horizons in the CN Tower. Very cool setting, very cool event with good food, excellent wines, and 5 table hockey games, all overlooking the big city. Thank you to Marco and the gang.
Thursday morning: Tour of Toronto-Pearson given by Morris. Excellent special treatment for us Canadians.
Thursday lunch: Lovely relaxing lunch at a delightful high end establishment just off-airport.
Thursday afternoon: Flight to Windsor.
