Toronto 2009

I've got a Canadian $10 bill in my wallet. It's been there since September of 2006, a leftover from the last time I went to Ontario to watch movies. Every time I open my wallet to pay from something, I'm given a pleasant reminder.

For one reason or another, I've had to take a couple of years off from heading north, but this year things broke my way. I leave in five minutes; here's what I plan on seeing:
