Take Off

How's it goin', eh? Hanging out here at my uncle's house in Mississauga, a fairly huge (pop. of 700,000+) suburb of Toronto. We drove all day yesterday, getting here in about 10 hours exactly. About 45 minutes of that was sitting in traffic at the border crossing. All in all, pretty uneventful. The girls were good, except for constantly asking where we were, and traffic moved quickly.

We had some Indian food last night and were up late jibba-jabbing with my cousins. Got up at 7 and went for an 8-mile run; felt pretty good for the most part. We drove in to the Jays-Sox game around 11 and had some lunch before heading into the ballpark. Our seats were redonkulously great: Third row on the first base line, down near the right fielder. The dome was open in the Rogers Centre and Roy Halladay was a monster. He threw a complete game masterpiece as the Jays won 3-1 and took the series 2-1. The trade rumors persist and some think this may have been his last home game. Man, I hope not, but if so, he went out with a bang.

The girls had a lot of fun and even deigned to pick up a pair of Blue Jays hats. We'll see if they wear them when we get home.

We hung out down by the Harborfront for another few hours to let the traffic ease up a bit. Plans are to go to the game Tuesday night against Cleveland. We don't have much planned for tomorrow yet.
