Canada, eh?

So I've taken a hiatus from this blog, and I should probably get back to documenting my life on the road. Since Amish country, I spent about two weeks with our Canadian chapters. We currently have four chapters in Canada at McMaster University, University of Toronto, York University, and Western Ontario University. Much is different here, and I definitely picked the wrong time of the year to be driving around this country. We've had about four snow storms, and I never know how much we're going to get because they report it in centimeters. I'm not the best with metric conversions.
I was able to spend a week in Toronto and spent one weekend with Tillie touring around. The city is great, and the skyline with the CN Tower and the Skydome (now the Rogers Centre) is amazing. Tillie and I checked out a professional lacrosse game. Up here in the Northeast lacrosse is big, and now that the NHL is on strike, it's even bigger. The game at the Air Canada Centre was awesome and it's definitely a fun sport to watch. We also had a chance to go to the CN Tower, and up top of it is the highest point in the world you can get a view from, while still being in a building. Quite the experience. Tillie is afraid of heights and it was fun to watch her hug the wall up top. We also took a tour of the Skydome. There was a car show going on, so all of the lights were off, but it's still very cool. There is a hotel in center field, where you can rent a room and watch the game from your hotel window. That would be awesome! We checked out the hockey hall of fame. It's probably the best laid out of the four halls that I've been to. We were even able to practice up on our slapshots. It brought me back to my Supersuckers days. It's much easier to shoot a hockey puck without skates. Overall it was a great weekend, despite the snow. I'll be traveling to Union College in New York tomorrow. Boy, how I love the seven hour drives. Next week is our All-Staff week. I look forward to being in the office with the guys for a week. I need to recharge my batteries.
