Conniption Fits To Everything Fits

Today had highs and lows. The low was first thing in the morning when Yuula flipped out when we asked her to pick up some socks and put them in the storage bin. She lost her marbles and threw the worst and possibly only conniption fit of her short little life. It was kinda cute, but sad, and at the very least intriguing. It's gonna be a rough one, these next 15 years.

She did finally pick up the socks.

Then we made huge strides in the sheds, old and new. I'm telling you, if you ever saw it before, you wouldn't recognize it now. Things are finding their homes, finally after 4 years. And the main cause of all this free range capacity is the new storage unit. We went over in a last ditch effort to regain control of the already elusive organized space and add some stock in the form of winter wardrobe and space heaters.

Glad no one wanted to get into their own unit last night.

This place is the latest manmade wonder of the world, categorized and puzzle-pieced in for maximum space utilization. If there were ever a job for this kind of skill I would be making six figures. Next time you're up I will give you the guided tour.

And nothing like a healthy McDonald's supper on the concrete floor of Uncle Bob's Storage. The good news is happy meals come in a box again instead of those cheap-o bags. And Yuula likes french fries on the elevator, but since I don't have a photo of that, here she is eating lunch.

Is Piston Honda Thai?

We woke up in Toronto...

Hi Jeff!

First class breakfast. Laura & I made the potatoes and I peeled my own orange. My new favorite is cream cheese on toast.

Mike was showing off his Wii that he had rigged to play every game from Nintendo, Sega, Gameboy, Super Nintendo, Atari, Playstation, Super Nintendo, Xbox... pretty much any game ever made. And with this enormous wealth of endless arcading at our fingertips what do we choose to play, but the original Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.

For some reason that left Laura & I craving Thai food so we took Mark and hit the main streets while the bride and groom enjoyed their final moments of pre-weddedness in some form of privacy.

We got some delicious lunches at Simply Thai. I got the pineapple chicken curry, Laura got the pad Thai (the staple to judge one Thai restaurant against all others) and Mark got peanut chicken. Yuula had a fit. She did not care for the quieted business lunch hour the restaurant took on so she decided to spice things up a little. The place was cleared out before we got our spring rolls. Atta girl.

Here's some of that lush and delicious produce I was telling you all about...

Blueberries the size of a baby's fist. Or maybe those were prunes. Either way, well done Toronto.

Then, just before turning the corner home we stopped and got some buttermilk ice cream, mainly because we couldn't get past this slightly disturbing billboard.
