[10:19 AM EDT - I forgot my shoes.]

I normally bring my shoes to work when I ride my bike so that I can get out of my boots during the day. I was wondering why my bag was so light this morning and realized what happened when I arrived at the office: I left my shoes at home. I have a routine when I take my bike that I move my laptop and accessories from my laptop bag and put it into my backpack. At the same time, I take my shoes and put it into my backpack as well. Well, I was in a little bit of a rush yesterday and did not transfer my laptop out of my backpack and into my laptop case. Instead, I just took the backpack without the shoes. This morning, since I did not have to move my laptop, I did not even consider putting my shoes into the backpack and now here I am with my feet stewing in my boots.

I hope they do not smell afterwards.

[Saturday, September 29, 2007: To the ROM!]

I took the afternoon off so the plan was for us to go to the 'Royal Ontario Museum' since MJO gave me his city pass.

I ended up getting out of the office late due to a number of factors, but I was able to make it home and pick up the car just in time to pick up MJNL. After getting stuck in traffic (again), we took public transit to the museum, where we wandered around for a few hours. I had not been to the 'Royal Ontario Museum' in years, so everything there seemed quite new to me. My new found (well, it has been more than several years) interest in ancient history has helped with understanding the displays more on the Egyptian, Greco-Roman, or even European exhibits.

[Scared of the bats!]

What we were also able to see was a star 'sapphire', namely the Black Star Sapphire of Queensland. It is quite a remarkable gem. Our tour guide, made a comment about not expecting sapphires to be black, and I went into a speech explaining.. well, sapphires. I probably should not have bothered, the explanation was on one of the display walls. Ah well.

[Sorry, no entrance.]

After the visit to the museum, we went out for dumplings (and we had a lot of them) before heading back home.
