sunday ramblings

I did a full system restore on my laptop computer today. it was running so slow that it was basically useless. I wish software and the internet would not load up our computers with junk.
I am planning to go to Ohio June 30th to July 5th to visit my brother and his family . It has become a tradition with me for the 4th of July Holiday.
I feel good and have been exercising to try to get stronger. but the doctor says I need knee replacements but I am going to wait and hope they don't get any worse.

Metropolitan Opera HD broadcast


I went to see Die Walkure by Richrd Wagner at the cineplex odeon theater last Saturday. It is a live HD broadcast from the Metropoitan Opera. It is the 2nd opera in Wagner's "Ring Cycle"
The Met Hd series featured 12 operas this season and I saw 10 of them. I really enjow being able to go to the movie theater to see great performances like this . Next season will be great too with 11 operas broadcast.
experience it for yourself.

Sunny Sunday, June ,5, 2011



We took a streetcar to Chinatown in Toronto today. Nice day and everyoe was out .The streetcar was packed. Had lunch at a great Chinese restuarant and coffee at Tim Hortons. The coffee was weak and tasted like the cardboad cup. The Starbucks down the street was gone. I guess Starbucks is too pricey for Chinatown. Lots of cool stuff in the shops there.

Saturday June 4 2011

Raining today with thunder and lightning.
I took a picture of the Rolls Royce in the garage. it seems to be an old one. It looks like something from a James Bond movie. It is a big heavy car but it seems small inside. I should take pctures of all the expensive cars parked in our condo garage.
I took my car out and drove around the block to the pharmacy because it was storming.
tayed home and watched James Bond "Dr NO"
