We were in the beautiful Canon Theater pictured above. It is owned by one of the biggest producers of theater in Canada, the Mirvish's. Though the audiences were a bit quite and the reviews were less than stellar here, we had a great run. In fact, the size of the audience grew steadily over the 5 weeks, indicating that we are a word of mouth audience favorite...the kind of show I would rather be in :) Funny enough, right across the street was a music venue with quite a sensible name (see below ;)
The weather was pretty good considering we were in Canada in the dead of winter. Actually, my parents in NC got more snow from all of those crazy storms in February than we did! We did take advantage of some winter sports.
But I wouldn't have been able to take part in this ice-skatery if it weren't for the good folds at the Sports Medicine Clinic. My PT, Chris, was great! Check out how pain free it was:
That new fangled thing in the bottom picture is a laser that helps accelerate tissue recovery. Medicine has definitely advanced since I was a kid...oh no, I'm starting to sound old!
All in all, it was a wonderful stay in Toronto. Everyone from my dresser, Woody, to the doorman, Mahesh, was so friendly in the theater. I got to see some of my Canadian friends that were in The Three Musketeers with me in Chicago. Plus I got to experience both sides of the coin: watching with amazement as America defeated Canada in Hockey at their first meeting and then eating a good dose of humble pie when Canada defeated America in the final game. It was great to be in the host country during an Olympic season.
Onto sunshine in Tampa, Florida. I could use a day with just a T-shirt on :)
Yes, he still lives! ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Kevin,
beautiful to read from you - well-fitting to the first day of spring! It finally becomes time, that now the snow vacates the place for flowers and sunshine. We already had a couple of warm days here. It is indescribably nice to get up in the morning and the birds twitter. I think I never have pleased so much for the spring and the warmth like this year!
You were at a very thrilling time at Canada. And you could be even a part of the Olympic Games? It must have been a fantastic feeling. Except the result - however?! ;)
Now you are in Tampa? Have a beautiful, sunny time there. Enjoy the blossoming life in nature and in the hearts of the people. :)

ReplyDeleteHey Kevin!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your new blog. I wish all the best for your Birthday subsequent. I was this week on Föhr (an island in the North Sea) with my Orchestera, that's why I'm too late. I hope you had a great day and nice presents ;)
