Ahh, another very serious day at the office... The Mountain WIT gang recently had a special command performance in Toronto, so naturally, we took in some of the sights as well. Here are my two beloved work-mates, giving a smooch to our totem - "the Dam Big Rodent" - symbol of Canada - one side of the nickel - in short, the beaver. This one was found at the Royal Ontario Museum, in the Natural History section. It was labelled "Please Touch" to differentiate it from all the rest of the exhibits that were strictly verboten. Thomas quipped, "This is probably the most-fondled beaver in Toronto..." (then he blushed furiously) 

Just had to share this lovely pic of my brother and my shiny new sister-in-law. Aren't they a gorgeous couple? It was an epic two-weekend/two wedding extravaganza, but now they're good 'n married. With two weddings in a row, I expect that this one will stick for a good long time. I wish them many many years of bliss! 

Buenos Aires in a nutshell: Old, graceful buildings (some crumbling, some well-kept) with a modern, hard edge just behind. This country desperately wants to regain the prosperity of it's proud past, but is stuck in a cycle of debt and political unrest. In the famous words of Don Henley: "all she wants to do is dance"
