- 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 - Heartland
Annual Superbowl party hosts serve traditional BBQ burgers and frankfurters. This year was not as cold as some years. Some friendly faces from previous years, some new faces expanding the circle. (Heartland, Mississauga, Ontario) 20180204 - UToronto iSchool
Service Systems facilitation-presentation by UToronto iSchool graduate students. Getting closer to the current edge of research, so the variety of sources is lower. Citing people whom I know well. (UToronto iSchool, Bissell Building) 20170207 - UToronto iSchool
Generative pattern language presentation-facilitation by UToronto iSchool graduate students. Started with an example of context-problem-solution, and showed how Christopher Alexander evolved the definitions over time. Citing research up to the bleeding edge at recent conferences. (UToronto iSchool, Bissell Building) 20180207 - Glorious Chinese Cuisine
Family lunch order becomes complicated, as Special A BBQ Duck and Special C Tilipia comes with 6 + 5 dim sum items, but not choices are acceptable. Waitress came back multiple times, new on the job. Weekday event scheduled because weekends are so busy. (Glorious Chinese Cuisine, Denison Street, Markham, Ontario) 20170208 - St. Michael's Family Practice
Medical checkup says no weight gain in the 45 days since cast for Achilles tendon injury was put on. Many years since my last full physical exam, high cholesterol runs in the family, blood pressure is up. Looking forward to behaviour change, made some appointments at clinics, could take 6 months before results. (St. Michael's Hospital, Family Practice Unit, Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario) 20170209 - UToronto iSchool
After wrapping up my last lecture of the course, DY saw a poster for Valentine's Day iTea for iSchool faculty, staff and students, and opted to hang out for 15 minutes in the classroom we just vacated. Picking out some candy into take out cartons, the scrum ran through supply quickly. We don't usually celebrate February 14. (UToronto iSchool, Bissell Building) 20180214 - Martin Family Centre
Southern exposure into ambulatory care centre, Donnelly wing (renamed from Queen wing in 2013, dating back to 1928) to the west and south, and the Bond wing dating back to 1892 to the east. Construction in the heart of downtown Toronto has to deal with major legacy constraints. (St. Michale's Hospital, Martin Family Centre for Outpatient Services, Queen Street East, Toronto, Ontario). 20180215 - Martin Family Centre
Right ankle to be in cast for 2 more weeks, says Dr. Khoshbin. Removed two wedges, foot will be level with ground. Good progress on Achilles tendon healing, but little response to squeezing lower calf leading to an autonomic reflex. Inside the house I should walk without crutches, outside the house, I should use crutches. After 6 weeks with foot pointed down, the cast should now support the foot pointing up into normal position. I will sleep with the cast on for a few more days, and then switch to wearing it for daytime only. Textbook recovery following Fowler Kennedy protocol from Western University. (St. Michael's Hospital, Martin Family Centre for Outpatient Services, Queen Street East, Toronto, Ontario) 20180215 - Regency Resto
Indian buffet to celebrate AKY's offer of admission to UToronto Ph.D. program, not Chinese New Year dinner. Also on waitlist for another department, and waiting for responses from other universities, funding may be negotiable. (Regency Restaurant, Little India, Gerrard Street East, Toronto, Ontario) 20180216 - Open Innovation Learning
Presentation is ready, and softcopy book arrived in time for official launch tomorrow night. The printed paper isn't that expensive, but the ePub is the way to go. The physicality of 690 A4 pages may be easier on the eyes, but the volume is heavy to hold. openinnovationlearning.com . (Riverside neighbourhood, Toronto, Ontario) 20180220 - OCADU
