On Saturday afternoon, we headed down to the Brickworks in the Don Valley to let our dogs frolic in the late autumn awesomeness that is November 2009.  It was sunny, it was warm and it was a perfect day to play in the trees and meadows.

For us, a highlight was having a nice chat with a celebrity.  Ed Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies was hanging out with his family and friends.  We didn’t let on that we knew who he was (at least obviously), but he knew we knew and, to his credit, he played it cool.  What a classy guy.

That night we got locked out of the Wine and Food Show (note for next year, buy tickets of everyone WELL ahead of time) and headed down to the Distillery to have a few drinks at the Mill Street Pub (try the Helles Bock).

On Sunday, aside from some playtime in the local park with our canine charges, we also headed to the ‘burbs to go bowling with my brother.  It wasn’t my best showing at 10-pin, but it wasn’t my worst either.  I think I need to start playing more often to find out how to use my peculiar spin for good instead of evil.
