My lunch with Steve and Dan

This morning I had tonnes of work to do and smashed thru it like construction worker with a jack hammer. So, when lunchtime rolled around I decided to take a walk in the warm 25C temperature under sunny skies.

For some reason I decided to venture into BCE Place and see what type of food and merchandise offerings they had. ....

Well to my surprise, there were lots of people standing around a stage and listening to someone sing and play guitar. I couldn't identify who it was but figured it had to be someone "big" or else there wouldn't be the large number of people gathered. I was curious so I walked closer and identified a popular song coming from the sound system. Aha! it was a barenaked lady.... Steven Page, the band's lead singer to be exact! Wow .... what a surprise. So, I loitered in front of the stage swaying to the music (Brian Wilson, If I had a Million Dollars etc...) and then was surprised once again when Steven asked Dan Ackroyd to came on stage to play and sing with him!


I think I better take more lunchtime walks.

An old hobby resurrected

Can anybody guess what that "rat looking" thing is on the cake above?
