(Ryerson Student Learning Centre, Toronto) 20150917 - McGill Granby Parkette
Tent over @WeAreCairo @DowntownYonge via @CMincubator, but no shelter for audience. Performance cut short after 15 minutes for rain, organizers cautious of water around electrified instruments. Sun came out 30 minutes. Band is writing, not touring, this summer, said next show could be in August. (McGill Granby Parkette, Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario) 20160709 - The Second City Toronto
Intermission at early Saturday show in new venue, with bumpers on television screens recalling the history of The Second City performers in previous theatres. Six cast members in extended skits involve longer stories than improv shows we've recently seen. Ladies may be uncomfortable in east unisex washroom with toilets and urinals; the west facilities have one room with toilets and urinals alongside another room with toilets only. (The Second City, 1 York Street, Toronto, Ontario) 20221203 - Congee Queen Agincourt
Lunar New Year lunch, deferred by one week due to schedules, even with only half of our sons in town. Convened via three cars from scattered locations downtown, because crosstown traffic gets snarled. Early into the Year of the Rabbit, prospects are looking up. (Congee Queen, Sheppard Avenue East, Scarborough, Ontario) 20230128 - Asian Grille Buffet
Changing pattern from Midwest Chinese restaurants to buffets, driving westbound across Michigan towards Iowa. On last trip westbound, found price at buffet same or lower than custom orders for lunch. Trading off on driving, expecting food coma. (Asian Grill Buffet, Benton Harbor, Michigan) 20160503 - St. Lawrence Market South
Dried pussy willows and root vegetables authentic for late winter farmer's market; fresh produce could only be greenhouse or imported. Saturday market features artisanal butchers, local baked goods, specialty pickles. South building temporary as north building is still under renovation. Mid-afternoon in main building considerably busier, with many visitors eating al fresco rather than taking ingredients home. (St. Lawrence Market, South Building, Toronto, Ontario) 20160326 - Mandarin Barrie
After the drive north for a 30-minute business meeting, buffet lunch with the first of three modest main course plates, then desserts. Preferences centered on Chinese selections, he declined on the roast beef and salads. For a pescatarian, still many choices available, struck by the too-generous sashimi cuts of salmon and tuna, each more than a mouthful. (Mandarin Restaurant, Fairview Road, Barrie, Ontario) 20231212 - Gould Street
Unexpected installations for @timberfever @RyersonDAS design-build competition in middle of pedestrian mall. Shells of reading room with books scattered, in case passersby pause for some literary edification. (Gould Street, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario) 20170926 - SFO Gate G98
Rigo 23 (1999) "Thinking of Balmy Alley" is a 378x240 inch ceramic type mosaic hanging in the atrium on the wall above the doors to Gate G98. The artist, residing in San Fran, was inspired by a mural (since destroyed) painted in 1993 by the artist and local youth in Balmy Alley, located in San Francisco’s Mission District. This work is lit by daylight through a window to its right. It is part of the collection of the SFO Museum, if travellers will take a moment to look up from their destination-oriented travel. (Gate G98, San Francisco International Airport, California) 20161031 - Brussels Chinatown
On street with Asian supermarket with a strong reputation in central Brussels, shopping for Chinese vegetables and sauces to prepare a dinner for our hosts over the past 6 days. With wedding celebrations of many days meeting bride's and groom's families and friends, domestic kitchen preparations are a welcomed return to normalcy. (Kam Yuen on corner, with Chinatown along Rue Ste. Catherine, Brussels, Belgium) 20150929 - Systems Thinking Ontario
Debriefing of #RSD4 with @playthink plenary sketches complements videos by Systemic Design Research Network newly on YouTube.

Wrapping up first #CreativeSystemic Research Platform Institute Symposium and Annual General Meeting. In-person attendees in Brussels, virtual attendees in Shanghai, Singapore, UK, Italy, and on a train in the Netherlands. The first year of starting up a new institution is a lot of learning, processes should be ironed on in future years. (Rue Marie Malibran, Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium) 20211107 - Ueno Park
Bloom of Cherry Blossoms attracts many Japanese to Ueno Park. so space is measured off with tarpaulins underneath, to allow visiting groups to socialize, picnic (and drink alcohol). Tradition of removing shoes is preserved even outdoors. Large garbage bins have been placed nearby, with signs to reduce confusion about sorting. (Ueno Park, Taito, Tokyo, Japan) 20170325 - Michael's Lapeer MI
Rest stops at crafting stores on drives across Michigan, Indiana and Illinois relieve the tedium on the way to Iowa. The chains have branches in many small towns, and rest rooms in the strip malls are well kept. DY checks out the clearance section for random deals. (Michael's, Main Street, Lapeer, Michigan) 20161213 - Sugar Beach
City dwellers lounging on chairs facing southwest towards Toronto Harbour in late afternoon, enjoying the sunset. It's still spring in Toronto, so high fluctuations of temperatures meant bright sun, but I was biking around with scarf and mitts. Saw some die-hard runners in shorts with bare legs at 10 degrees C. (Sugar Beach, Dockside Drive, Toronto, Ontario) 20230427
