I’m here, I’m here.

This being busy at work thing is not all its cracked up to be.

Yesterday I took a walk around the hood. It was a beautiful evening, sunny, warm. I’ve moved into a very yuppie neighborhood. In the past couple of years Toronto has changed dramatically in its make up. With the influx of immigrants, neighborhoods like Scarborough, Mississauga and Brampton are now predominantly Asian, South Asian or Black. I thought all the whiteys had moved up north. Turns out they are all in my neighborhood.

A few things about Yuppie neighborhoods that I have observed:
~They are cleaner
~Everyone smiles at you when they see you walk by
~You see entire families, mums, dads and kids on bikes, walking around
~Everyone lines up for buses, as opposed to shoving their way through like at Kennedy Station
~They have little shops that sell the stupidest things at the most exorbitant prices. Like the shop I passed by yesterday dedicated to selling water bowls for animals. Seriously, an entire store survives selling only water bowls….at $150 a pop? Seriously?
~There are two groups of people, the middle age single peeps, and the young families….what happened to Young and Eligible???
~There are restaurants dedicated to the art of making a salad….where do you go when you get hungry??
~People play baseball at 11.30 pm, in 10 degrees Celsius and look happy doing it.

In order to get back into the groove of the Young and Single Life I am having a get together today…bring on the tequila shots….
