miscellaneous rambling

It's been 16 years since my last visit to Toronto. I was looking forward to it, not to see the city itself, but to see old friends and family while there. So what to do in Toronto? Well, 16 years ago, the Skydome was first opened, and my family got tickets to go. I was excited to watch my first pro ball game, but my family just wanted to see the skydome. We left after the third inning, and I was really upset. This time around, we didn't actually get tickets to the game, but we got the next best thing, and in fact, was a much cooler experience for the novelty of it all. We caught a ball game from inside the Hard Rock cafe. For a $5 premium, you can get a table next to, or close to the the large glass windows, and watch the game while eating and drinking. The plays were broadcast through the restuarant, and you could watch the replays on the screens inside the bar, which was great.
