It was a good concert. I have to see what I can make of the photos. Good hotel, Suites at 1 King, for a reasonable rate on expedia.ca. This was the view and it was good to be able to walk back to a bed from the Air Canada Centre.

Punk. You have to give advance notice of these things. You're staring at my office tower, we could have gone to lunch or something. Geez. =)

So, Chris, the series wasn't exactly the way we figured it. I just read that the Cards had the worst regular season record of any team to ever win the series. On the other hand, when had the Tigers last hosted a winning season, 1990? Cool year in baseball I think.

Sorry, Chris - it was a birthday for someone else who I sleep with more than you. Next time. But on the upside, apparently I mooned you at 8:53 am this morning.

Actually I don't show up until 9:30, so you got some of my colleagues. We're the farthest black building, so it would be hard to make out even the largest full moon at that range. Did you like 1 King West (i.e. would you stay there again)? It's pretty recent as hotel real estate goes, and it certainly looks swanky on the outside.
Gary, I am a little disappointed in the Tigers at having folded in five -- but not extremely so. Even if the Tigers' bats didn't show up for the last few games, they had a good run. The Cards had a rough ride for most of the postseason, so every bit of that Big Win was deserved. It was a good, interesting Series.

I would definitely go there again. I have to check on Expedia to see what we paid (I thought it was maybe $200 all in but the receipt from the hotel said more like $145) but inside the finishings were very nice and the staff professional. The Cambridge Suites around the corner has larger rooms but this week were looking for $250, which is beyond my Toronto price. I want only a few blocks walk from Union Station and so far this is the cheapest. The best parking is still the one at Cambridge of Richmond, however.<p>Best of all, they pass on their flat rate for the telephone. I called Kingston for a few minutes and the bill was 17 cents.

I too am curious about the accommodation at 1 King W. Long have I stared at it longingly. As it were.
My captcha password for this post was "aarrgh". I think I feel a disturbance in the force.

Mine is "pymjzm" which is "almost pajamas", which is a characterization of my inadvertent state described above. That is freaky.

Okay, Chris and others: are we looking at an Indianapolis vs. Chicgo Bears super bowl? Shivers of delight and anticipation.....

No to the Bears in my books.

the colts play the pats this week. it could be a watershed moment for their chances of getting to the Superbowl.

After last night's amazing performance I think it will be another great game.
