Back from Canada

I was in Toronto last week, for business basically. Some advance training on our ticketing system, and Toronto just happens to be the home base. It was a great week. The training was really informative, albeit also intense. Got to eat at some fantastic restaurants while there. And drank the best coffee ever at "Second Cup." Toronto is very cool. It's very hip and urban, and the residents are so nice. Makes the whole "Minnesota Nice" seem like nothing. I imagine it has to do with their universal health care and not having a goofy president like we do, who does stupid things. They just have an overall happiness about them. They're much more relaxed, as I think they receive much more vacation and holiday time than we do here in the US. Makes one think...
Also went to see a fun stage production called "We Will Rock You." A musical based on the music of Queen. It was really fun, although a pretty bad script and loose plot. But, the music completely made up for it, and audience members could purchase Glowsticks! Gotta love that! So, rockin' out to Queen music and waving the glowsticks arounds, it was fun. Now I'm back and we have been hit with a terrible cold spell. It's about 14 below right now, with a wind chill of -35 degrees. Not so fun. But we Minnesotans put up with it. :)
