Happy Birthday Ontario Place it's hard to believe you are forty!
Many of us remember your inception; yet still we are feeling sporty,
Did you see North of Superior at the Cinesphere?
& pay a virtual northern visit via the IMax frontier?
Did you perhaps have your first visit upon a class excursion?
Weren't those trips fun & a schoolastic diversion?
Wasn't the forum the most dreamy venue?
So many greats that graced its fine menu?
Even free admittance during the days of the ex,
So much to offer in so many respects,
I remember seeing Harry Chapin, Lighthouse & April Wine,
The Tragically Hip, The Spoons made it simply sublime,
Muddy Waters, Blue Rodeo & Ronnie Hawkins was rockin',
Luba, The Parachute Club & David Wilcox - (he was slightly shockin')
Murray McLauchlan was one of my faves,
& as that stage revolved the lake crashed its waves.
The pubs were alright & the grass was green,
I remember smooching on the hill, when I was a teen,
Roller skating, the children's village & the price was right,
& you could have fun in the morning till long into the night,
Just a memory & just a thought or two that I hope you can all recall,
& intentionally omitted was Teen Age Head & that terrible awful brawl....

Good afternoon, everyone.
Sorry I was awol last night. I had a lovely dinner with my friend, then someone had the bright idea to go out for a drink. Well, between the chocolate martinis and good conversation, I lost all track of time & got home way past my bedtime. I think I'm getting too old to do that, especially when I have appts early the next day.
Critters are showing mercy & not laughing at me too loudly.
Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely sunny day.

....yes, the days sure don't shine as brightly as they did when he was here.....ye olde "hindsight is 20-20" bit drives me nuts...as his big sister, I was always told to watch out for him.....old habits die hard, and I just wish I had handles his drunk texting to his kids differently....like a smack upside the head, and a hug, followed by the words "love your gutties"...I do know those were my last words to him, we never missed saying it....now, I make a point to say it to his kids every time I talk to them....TR

I remember we had our grade 8 graduation party at Ontario Place the year it opened. It was a hot day and everyone played in the fountain.
I can still feel myself flying North of Superior.
I think that I saw Harry Chapin there maybe 3 or 4 times. I remember on one occasion it was raining but the crowd remained sitting on the wet grass at the forum. Chapin could not believe we all stayed."If you want it, you can get it, but to get it, you gotta want it. Anything you want to try, just let go, fly HIGH,...and make a wish." Harry Chapin

So good news/bad news. Good news was, I had a "No Boss Day" today. Bad news was the owner was here all day.
Good news was the owner said I can go at 3:00 (as I am literally the only one left in the building). Bad news was I got busy in the last 90 minutes trying to make sure I have everything covered for next week.
Well I am supposed to work till 5:00, but I going to leave at 4:00. Need to visit a friend who has some golf money for me. Problem is that I am meeting him at his business, which happens to be a bar. So guess what I am going to have to do once, maybe twice when I get there
Hope everyone has a good weekend. See ya on the flip side.
