I Can Drive Anything

This was at a festival in Dundas Square.

I was taking my out-of-town friend and her kid for walk through the city. The kid wanted to try, during which the owner of the bike came over, “hey you should give it a go.”

“Nah it’s okay, I’m just here for the kid”… but he kept going, and I am petty and will almost always respond to a challenge.

So okay fine, and rode a flawless loop around the square like, people were clapping.

A decade of gymnastics pays off in the weirdest ways.

Thanks for letting me ride your bike!

(aside – in the same boastful manner as this post title, I also win the “driven the most expensive” game – here)

 

 

The Biggest My Face Has Ever Been

Haha :)

Until I was invited to this, I’d completely forgot about Jello.

Jello sent me home with a box, and it’s just right for my level of cooking-skills (boil water & stir).

So I did.

I served to some guests, who remarked, “woah Jello, I forgot about Jello, neat [smile]”.

Which is what you want your dinner guests to say, because now you are a fun and exciting host, how easy was that.

 

 

Diamonds in Dundas Square

Which building above is the most interesting in Dundas Square?

Cool eh; so inconspicuous and un-assuming.

Fact: diamond guys always want their windows to face north. North provides the best light for inspecting diamonds.

This was filmed inside the above building:

That’s Berge waving at the end, one of Canada’s premiere diamond setters.

This was back in 2009, when I was really into diamonds.

Remember Keith? He was the

30 carats of diamonds

Hi Keith!  Welcome back to my blog.

And there is your Toronto fact of the day!

Except I will never do a “Toronto Fact of the Day” collection, that sounds horribly boring.

 

 

I’m Mobile Again

Thanks for the wheels, Chevrolet!

It’s their just-released Sonic – their hyrid car. Which has much more pep and pickup than you’d expect.

And Chevy knows me well, they gave me a manual car YA buddy, it’s great to be shifting again and making the engine rawwwwar out of the corners.

Here’s the interior.

Nice and simple, not too many bells and whistles, which I don’t like and think are superfluous.

If I were to buy a new car I’ll be saying no thanks to things like backing-up cameras and GPS. I can back up just fine with my eyes, and I don’t wish to be tracked.

I was at Chevrolet’s event in Dundas Square last week, they launched three new cars day… the Sonic, Orlando and their electric car, the Volt.

It was also a big day in internet history too, they streamed live all day to the homepage of YouTube, and for a minute I was on it, neat eh! Casie and I were interviewed about driving the the Volt. Unfortunately neither of us have footage of it, lesigh.
