Back from my cruise to Alaska! Somehow I feel disappointed that I missed the heatwave we had in Toronto last weekend. Alaska would have felt like a freezer in comparison! (No, it really wasn’t that cold.) I had a really great time on my trip, although I did experience a couple of mishaps, which I will get to later.

So it must have been well over a decade since I’ve been to a baseball game in Toronto. I honesty can’t remember the last time I willingly sat through nine innings to watch any team play.
