It’s a wrap. The last week is finally here whether I like it or not and Thursday night I’ll be on a flight back to Toronto. “Back to reality” …I’ve never liked that expression; it denies the realness of whatever…

What To Do, What To Do . . . Events at U of T

I had to return to Cambridge this weekend to help my dad bring in and stack firewood. It’s a yearly chore and it’s fine, because I love woodstove fires in the winter when I visit home. So I left on…

Life, leisure and graduation

When it came to writing this week's post, I must admit I had difficulty determining what exactly I was going to write about. As the semester draws to a close, "life at U of T" is more or less winding down…
