    We got caught in a Toronto gridlock which gave us time
    to appreciate the towers that are now Toronto.

    I have been distracted by various visitors for the past few weeks
    and have been unable to keep up with our ’story a day’ project.
    Storoes are sittimg here unfinished.

    The shock of my brothers’ death weighs heavily upon us.
    So a few stories will be coming to Celebrate his life via
    the internet.  The stories will be imaginary conversations between
    Eric and me such as :

    “Hey Eric, remember when I stole the icing you had carefully
    saved from mom’s stole cake?  You outwitted me that day.”

    and

    “Hey Eric, remember when  you threw that folded newspaper
    right through a customers bathroom window…bathroom was
    in use at the time or so she claimed.”

    and 

    “Hey Eric, remember when I Said ‘I will give you a quarter if you grab that squirrel by the tail?’
    You did and got your arm ripped with its claws.   Sorry about that Eric.”

    and

    Hey Eric, remember when dad trained us to sell day old racing forms to men rushing
    to catch the last races at Dufferin racetrack.   The poor guys were betting on horses
    that did not exist.;”

    etc. etc

    P.S.  Sorry you are so sick Caroline…your left handed writing needs attention.
    I will try to get stories coming.



    P.S.   Are you OK John (Wardle)?
