About a year ago I bought a Bicycle. Approximately 30 minutes after the purchase, I experienced a pretty bad accident involving some streetcar tracks. This not only left my knees in pretty rough shape, it also caused me to cancel a trip to NYC I had been pretty excited about.

Since then I’ve been back on the bike, quite a bit actually, but only in the Suburbs. I’ve always been afraid of biking in The City – and the accident only made things worse.

However, after just two short months of living in Toronto, I’ve realized something. Everybody Bikes, like, Everywhere. Especially when it’s nice out, there are literally HERDS of Cyclists all around the city. It’s impressive, and I really want to be a part of the club! So, yesterday (when it was over 20 degrees out!) I headed to Canadian Tire to outfit my bike with a Proper Bell, and a Side-Mirror, and filled my tires, and was on my way!

I biked along Bloor about 8Km from Yonge Street to High Park to see the Sakura Blossoms (while I still had the chance – a few pics I took can be seen here). It went GREAT! I then biked back along the waterfront to Sugar Beach with no issues! I’m feeling quite proud.

Which brings me to my next…

I think it finally hit me this week. I know that’s probably a funny thing to say after nearly a month, but it finally hit me that I Live In Toronto. What’s worse, is that I realized in many ways, it’s seriously no big deal.

This entry is about four things. Food, Booze, Games & Cars.

So, I officially moved to The Big City last weekend. Again.
Third time is the charm, right?

The other two tales of my attempt to move to Toronto are wrought with failure and sadness.

Who would think that the one thing to motivate me to update this blog more often (other than the Film Festival) would be quitting smoking. Although, I do have to say that I think it will be less frequent in the coming weeks.

Thought I’d do a quick update to share with everyone how the whole Quitting Smoking thing is going.

Firstly, it’s true when they say that you’ll never find the best time to quit –

Since it is a topic I plan to talk about, probably daily, for the next several months (at least), I thought I’d start with an annoucement:

This weekend started the same as most have for the last 1.5yrs, with me heading in on the train to Eddie’s place, and thinking about food. I’m super lucky to have a Foodie Boyfriend …
