<\/div>\n
We got caught in a Toronto gridlock which gave us time<\/div>\n
to appreciate the towers that are now Toronto.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I have been distracted by various visitors for the past few weeks<\/div>\n
and have been unable to keep up with our \u2019story a day\u2019 project.<\/div>\n
Storoes are sittimg here unfinished.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The shock of my brothers\u2019 death weighs heavily upon us.<\/div>\n
So a few stories will be coming to Celebrate his life via<\/div>\n
the internet.  The stories will be imaginary conversations between<\/div>\n
Eric and me such as :<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cHey Eric, remember when I stole the icing you had carefully<\/div>\n
saved from mom\u2019s stole cake?  You outwitted me that day.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
and<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cHey Eric, remember when  you threw that folded newspaper<\/div>\n
right through a customers bathroom window\u2026bathroom was<\/div>\n
in use at the time or so she claimed.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
and <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
“Hey Eric, remember when I Said \u2018I will give you a quarter if you grab that squirrel by the tail?’<\/div>\n
You did and got your arm ripped with its claws.   Sorry about that Eric.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
and<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Hey Eric, remember when dad trained us to sell day old racing forms to men rushing<\/div>\n
to catch the last races at Dufferin racetrack.   The poor guys were betting on horses<\/div>\n
that did not exist.;\u201d<\/div>\n
