dog days of summer


it all started with a trip to the farmer's market in withrow park.
then came eating juicy cherries by the remains of the 1967 sculpture symposium in high park.
a picnic at christie pits with fresh summer peas from the morning market (see photo), tetra pak wine and a toronto maple leafs vs the allstars baseball game.
followed by the search for real gelato at corso italia ending up with espresso and beer and garlic pesto shrimp skewers with random Italians and a Portuguese while listening to Dr Draw (for way cheaper--read: free--than his upcoming $70 massey hall show)
a roller derby match (D-Vas vs Death Track Dolls)
finished with a delicious sangria margarita at the willow.

days you don't want to end.
my favourite summer in the city days.
saturday was one of those days.

Food for thought: Alligator by Lisa Moore

the ultimate test of faith

sometimes i just want to trade in all my thoughts and dreams and live a shallow and meaningless existence.
just to take a break.
because sometimes my brain hurts from thinking too much.
is this the ultimate test?
