An Evening w/ Vienna Teng

Alright , I talk a good game
Last night , we crossed the city using the Gardiner Xpressway and Lakeshore Blvd. The city is improving the Gardiner , the southern arterial for E - W travel. Of course , it is constricted in three places.
the Lakeshore carries the overflow or the unwary.
A tip of approx 18 miles converted to 1 h 50 min. We were bumper to bumper for 8 miles.
I drove past the parking lot and doubled back almost 1 mile ( around the Junction Railyard ).
We had called to say we'd be late
Desk reception : where are you ?
Us : on the Lakeshore
Desk : Oh , we'll hold the reservation

We ordered the concert special , 3 course dinner
The food was good to almost good

The performer was Vienna Teng and the venue Hugh's Room on Dundas St.  the concert was fabulous
She is a talented pianist , powerful and subtle singer
Vienna did her own compositions and John Denver etc

She uses a piano and then moves to a synthesizer  , loop machine and beat box. 

She sang ' Annies Song ' , lilting and uplifting
Her comment , John Denver could write a song
I saw John Denver 3 times and he never sang like that

Weather : cooooo .....llld and sunny , rain due

Oh , we drove home in 30 minutes

For chores , we ( both of us , M and I ) , using the re - jigged gutter blower. Really , it takes two people to use the sucker. The force of the outflow throws the curved head out and away from the gutter. Add to that , the 20 ft length of the tube , swaying and its difficult.
We blew out all the gutters.
to rub it in , the neighbour blew out his gutters in 14 minutes , walking on the roof.
Bear in mind that there was no chance of me falling , except on my bum
