Runners runners everywhere

I am in the process of reading the awesome informational booklet "RoadSense for Drivers". I don't know why they insist on calling it RoadSense. I feel like it should come with a little tm-sign hovering above it. I'll probably be ready for the theoretical exam tomorrow or Thursday, and then we'll see how long it takes for me to be able to get a driving test. Whoopee.

So today I bought a bike. I was getting tired of walking downtown, when it is so much faster to wheel it. Thanks, cavemen, for inventing the wheel. I got myself a used mountain bike with way too big tires for biking on pavement. It's blue. It's also quite heavy. But I keep positive and appreciate its weight, as it will only provide more resistance and thus exercise..

I also might just sell it again and get another one soon.

And let's not forget a recap of last Sunday! It was the day of the Sun Run, a 10 km long run downtown, which drew a record number of runners - almost 60,000! I woke up and looked out the window, and there they were, passing by in large, large numbers. It was pretty silly. Here are some pictures:

Sunday was also the 20th of April, aka 420-day. Oh so stupid. For those of you that don't know, 420 is a nickname for weed, and so the potheads gather together on 420-day to light their joints at 4.20. Or probably right when they wake up. We passed by their little festival outside the art gallery downtown... It was pretty silly, what with all the cops just hanging around watching the whole thing. It looks quite serene in this picture, but we didn't get there til around 7, so they were pretty stoned by then:

On Sunday night, Chris and I went to see his friends do a stand-up show on Broadway and Ontario. It was hilarious, they were really good. I finish off this post with a picture of that, and will return with more information about my upcoming driving tests as soon as anything of interest happens !
