…Since I was in Toronto.
A day with long and very detailed meetings at the vendor, it feels like I may actually be starting to get some of this process stuff. This is as much of a surprise to me as it probably is to my boss. It does seem like a long way to come for a one day of meetings and I’m going to be very happy to get home, even briefly, but the effort was worth it.
Additionally to shake hands with people who up to now have just been voices on phone conferences is always time well spent.
After work and a nap the three of us on the trip took off for an evening out in Toronto. A couple of people recommended a restaurant in the Distillery Historic District, a few streets of some rather nicely preserved buildings. Clearly this is a very trendy part of town, certainly rather busy for a Tuesday night with lots of good people watching. It was not a bad way to blow a couple of hours sitting outside on a warm evening with a few laughs to round off the trip.
It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve been to Toronto. For the other two this was their first time here, so after dinner we did what tourists do. In Seattle you go up the Space Needle, in Toronto you go up it’s big brother, the CN Tower.
One of the things I’ve found over the last few days is how much my joints ache, the anti inflammatory I took today helped a little, but it’s took something a little stronger to help me sleep last night, despite feeling dead tired.
