- Satay House
Intercept lunch on way from Toronto to Iowa. Usually would visit overnight, but short schedule made 12+ hour drive the plan. Neighbourhood has large choice of Asian restaurants, so when Viet resto was closed on Wednesday, AHI redirected is to Malaysian. (Satay House, Madison Heights, Michigan) 20151125 - Sawdust City Brewing Co.
Dull fall day to be sitting in the oversized Muskoka Chair, summer in cottage country has passed. Climbing the structure has been made easier with safety ridges for traction, but it still takes nerve to dangle legs over the front. The shape is different than an Adirondack Chair, the back is rounder and the arms are wider. (Sawdust City Brewing Co., Muskoka Road N., Gravenhurst, Ontario) 20190914 - Scarborough Beach boardwalk, April sunset (Toronto, Wednesday)
Boardwalk at Scarborough Beach, unseasonably warm evening, eye between two rain alerts. Walkers and cyclists out, light at 8:15 pm (Toronto, Wednesday) 20110427 2015 - Scarborough Health Network, Centenary Hospital
After 11 days of wearing a hospital gown, got dressed in street clothes and walked out of the hospital. Now back at semiors apartment, where there's no walker assistance, just handrails in the hallways. Only started on solid food again yesterday, so more rest and recuperation is ahead at home. (Scarborough Health Network, Centenary Hospital, Ellesmere Road, Scarborough, Ontario) 20220916 - Scarborough Health Network, Centenary Hospital
The first day recovering from surgery for my father, vital signs all look fine. We expect to visiting this semi-private room daily until he's well enough to return home. Easing back onto solid food, a period of disorientation after general anaesthesia seems normal.

Behind the secure door, there's a small children's play area before the operating room corridor where only hospital scrubs are permitted. After the patient and family are briefed on the procedure, adults are normally asked to go to the waiting room outside the secure door. Normal scheduling aims for surgeries to finish off around 4:30pm, but urgent cases may see the doctors still onsite at 11pm. (Scarborough Health Network, Centenary Hospital, Ellesmere Road East, Scarborough, Ontario) 20220907 - Scarborough Health Network, Centenary Hospital
Fifth floor view northeast, gable skylights over the second floor below, and trees in the park around the Rouge River towards the eastern suburban edge of Metropolitan Toronto. Modernist facility constructed in 1967, with multiple expansions in decades following. Early admission for procedure with father scheduled tomorrow, medical professionals prefer control over food and drink for a day.

HKI fell backwards on the top of the up escalator, on top of DY. Her side hurt, so five hours in the ER uptown for X-rays, plus a CT scan of her head. Released after blood pressure came down from a spike, to a higher-than-normal level. Got a doctor's certificate to take a few days off, but she's determined to go to work tomorrow. (Scarborough Hospital Emergency Room, Birchmount Road, Scarborough, Ontario) 20240101 - Scarborough L'Amoureaux
Suburban visit for help with repairs. Raleigh shopping bike needed headset bearings. On AHI's old Norco bike, swapped front suspension for fixed forks, threadless for threaded headset with different stem, and then vertical brakes since no cantilever mount. DT has many used parts in his garage accumulated from curbside discards, and enjoys fixing bikes. (L'Amoureaux neighbourhood, Scarborough, Ontario) 20160426 - Scholarly after-lunch discussion
Beyond formal presentations, privilege of relaxed time for conversation of speculative ideas about the future. Wide variety of perspectives and backgrounds add to a rich dialogue. (7th floor, 9 West building, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Ookayama, Japan) 20150227 - School of Information
Drop-in @snousala on @rjglushko in office, the day before he's leaving for Hawaii. Shirt to match the mood. Last time we met in person was at the dawn of service science. (School of Information, South Hall, University of California Berkeley) 20161026 - School of the Environment
Martin Bunch from York U. guest lecture at U. Toronto on Ecosystems Approaches originating from James Kay, evolved into EcoHealth approach with community health in coupled social-ecological systems. Presented on three cases, in Kathmandu Nepal; Chennai India; and Credit Valley Conservation Authority in Southern Ontario. I've lectured in Martin's systems thinking class, sometimes it's better to hear a formal talk to appreciate the work of a researcher. (University of Toronto School of the Environment) 20160302 - Scotiabank Arena
Family from overseas joining for the full Canadian experience, watching the Toronto Marlies defeat the Belleville Senators in a Boxing Day match, 3-2. First taste of poutine from the concession stands. Subgroup continued on to Eaton Centre to see the crowds, more than shopping. (Scotiabank Arena, Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario) 20221226 - Scotiabank Arena
Mid-game faceoff in third period of Toronto Marlies (tied for first rank in the leauge) versus Belleville Senators (last in rank) on Boxing Day. Control of the puck was with the Marlies winning 3 to 2, with 36 shots on net compared to 20 for the Senators. Special occasion with visitors new to Canada, one son commented that we've never gone to a professional sporting event as a family. (Scotiabank Arena, Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario) 20221226 - Scotiabank Theatre
Scheduled family time to enjoy Imax screening of Captain Marvel. RDI prebooked seats well back in the room, the screen is large that fast action would be even harder to follow when sitting up front. Nostalgia for the 1990s seems to be rising, which feels familiar for us who remember the period first-hand. (Scotiabank Theatre, Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario) 20190309
