I lost 4 pounds on my diet this week!
I am going to see "Fiddler on the Roof" tonight at the Canon theater in Toronto. It was formerly the Pantages Theater but Canon paid for the name change. That seems to be the fad now for corporations to give big money to change the name of venues. They almost did that to the Royal York Hotel. It was to become the Fairmont and they were going to remove the landmark sign on the building but there was a big stink and they settled for inserting Fairmont over the Royal York sign.

I Saw "Tales of Hoffman" by Offenbach. broadcast live from the Metropolitan Opera at the IMAX theater. It was a wonderful production with great singing and acting. 

Going to see "Fiddler on the Roof" Tomorrow . Topal was supposed to star in it but had to quit because of health issues. It was supposed to be his farewell tour.

I got my Ontario drivers license yesterday.  I went to Service Ontario in downtown Toronto and got it right away. One of the striking workers told me where to get it. They are on strike for better working conditions and are not publishing the only place to get it is Service Ontario in downtown Toronto.  I have been waiting since August and could have got it there anytime.
