The Past

Upon reflection, it was a pretty good trip back. Some obvious high and low-lights, but one of the softer moments was when I was having breakfast with my Dad at Bagel World on Wilson. I asked the 78 year old figurehead if he felt that marrying my Mom (a non-jew) was the reason his business in the Jewish community went south in his later years. Without hesitation, he said no - things don't work that way.

It was a nice moment between Father and son, even if that's exactly the way things work and even if he was lying through his teeth.

Can't wait to play golf with the Barnsey tomorrow. CAN'T WAIT. Hilarious little guy - the Barnsey. Finally get him out to Miserysaugua last year for the first time because I thought the Barnsey couldn't play golf - or so he said. Guy was like Jim Furyk's brother out there - hitting great shots - slicing and hooking it around trees - bending it like Beckham. Playing Taboo tomorrow. We'll look to the East tomorrow and toast double glove.
