Family photo in Northern California back yard, flowers blooming in spring. Father will visit with more family in Southerh California and enjoy cruise, before returning to Toronto next week.

Opening reception installation @PTSDalchemy paintings @playthink "It's All in Your Head". Crystals shaped naturally, responding to emotional impressions focused on raw shapes.

Henry Moore (1973) Hill Arches, on island beside water fountain, in landscape designed by Eero Saarinen and Kevin Roche.

Combine has 14-foot wide wheelbase, so can be legally driven on the road, if the corn header is removed. Impressive front entrance display for a Fortune 100 company. (Deere & Company World Headquarters, East Moline, Illinois) 20170504 - Degrassi Street Park
Playground spacenet not an attraction when there's winter snow everywhere. Observed children down the street playing on their front lawns, as parent cleared walks. Unusual walk for me from home to Chinatown East for groceries, too wet for bicycling, shopping list too small to justify driving. (Degrassi Street Park, South Riverdale, Toronto, Ontario). 20171223 - Delia Pembrey MacNamara, Friday plenary
ISSS 2016 Boulder plenary - Delicious Paradise Kitchen
Schedule for family lunch at congee-noodle restaurant diverted, as grandfather decides his driving on the day of the first major snowfall is imprudent.

Six dishes made-to-order with rice, complemented by barbeque duck and rice noodles ordered at the adjacent shops. (Delicious Paradise Kitchen, Silver Star Boulevard, Scarborough, Ontario) 20191201 - Delicious Paradise Kitchen
Chinese food court really local, a quick intercept lunch with father and DY on way to afternoon errands. Portions large enough for two, learned from ordering too much on a previous visit. (Delicious Paradise Kitchen, Silver Star Blvd. Scarborough, Ontario) 20180202 - Delicious Paradise Kitchen
Father's choice for Chinese fast food lunch. When I saw the serving of rice pulled on the plate, I said "too much", and the server put half back into the pot. Dad says one serving is enough to serve two seniors. (Delicious Paradise Kitchen, Silver Star Blvd., Scarborough, Ontario) 20171109 - Delicious Shawarma & Falafel
Unusually warm fall Saturday made outdoor dining on a covered patio feel like travelling to tropical climes. Fast food counter served takeout falafel wrap and beef shawarma with garlic sauce and fries in large quantity. We wore masks inside ordering, no vaccination passport required. (Delicious Shawarma & Falafel , Birchmount Avenue, Scarborough, Ontario) 20211002 - Denny's Test Kitchen
Brunch next door to Canadian headquarters of international restaurant chain, with menu items under consideration request feedback for inclusion into regular menus. Bridging east coast body time with west coast mealtimes, we're jet lagged with the 3-hour time zone change. Discussed the Broadway Plan for rental housing in the neighbourhood, designed to encourage low rise construction while protecting affordability for long-time residents.
