At the end of November I went to Toronto for a whirlwind weekend to do a show for the Alpine Club of Canada. It was a great time! I managed to skip the coldest weather in the Rockies (-38 C) and skip straight to the balmy Toronto climes (+11 C). Hee hee. My hosts in The Big Smoke did their utmost to keep me entertained. Many thanks to Ian for his couch, and Paul and Sandra for the chauffeuring and trip to the Science Centre (geeks! we're all geeks!) We saw an exhibit based on the science of Marvel Superheroes (X-men and the Hulk, among others). It was vaguely interesting, since they were trying to explain how Spiderman could climb walls and how mutations work, etc. But the whole thing fell flat somehow. Maybe because some of the hands-on stuff was broken. Maybe because there were hordes of screaming children everywhere. Maybe it was a good concept gone wrong. Hm. Anyhoo, the pic is of me being "Storm" from the X-men. Woot.
