Cue the organ

Sorry about that, comments have now been turned on so you can all get writing.

Youth hostels must be some of the coolest places on earth. Bug ups to Matt for the Canadiana recommendation, it's easily understandable why it won the Best Hostel in North America award. It seems that pancakes for breakfast is a standard feature over here, just gotta be up in time 'cos otherwise it's like that tank of vodka and orange in Rarotonga - Jeff, with accompanying disappointed faces.

Today I passed a shop entirely dedicated to fashion for the tall woman which got me wondering whether those of the opposite gender were particularly lanky in these parts. With the survey maybe three quarters done I would have to say that maybe the bell curve is a little skewed in the upward direction.

Off to my first baseball game tonight - can't beat two dollar Tuesdays for a bargain. Met a young mancunian last night before the movie who has become addicted to the national pastime and instead of tripping around has spent the last three weeks going to the Rogers Centre. I could maybe understand it if it were a good team but the Blue Jays, would be like getting hooked on Northland or something.

Forgot to ask about Katherine's birthday, hope it went well and was enjoyed by all who attended.

Tomorrow is Niagara and then the overnight bus to New York, oh yeah!!!

There seems to be so much pressure to write something beautiful that people are afraid of writing under your amazing blogs. The thought of bringing disorder to the site of the Great Montombo is obviously too much to bear... Thus, I keep this message short as to encourage people to share their thoughts with Tom as he ventures across the great prairie... It sounds like you're having fun dude... I wish I was there!

Birthday was good thanks. Had about 60 people at the party, about half of whom were brave enough to support the 'vintage' theme and dress up, which was fun. (We Townleys can always be trusted to provide an excuse to dress up in hats and gloves where possible :)) Had some old slapstick black and white films playing - Charlie Chaplin is the new Mr. Popular. True to form, Mum and Grandma catered well above and beyond the call of duty, and we've nearly finished polishing off the leftovers, 10 days later. Sorry you weren't there, but I guess OEing is preferable on the whole :)
Happy days
-K

Beautiful and intimidating it may be, and if you aren't feeling like putting something here for everyone, remember, you can still email me.
