We toured the gaybarhood and ate lots of great food. I cannot believe how expensive drinks are. We could have rented out an entire bar for the price we paid for watered down crappy drinks and accomodations.

Altogether it was fun because we were together, but I have to say, each time I go to Toronto I like it less and less. Its so damn crowded and dirty. The thing that kills me the most is the lack of mobile internet. We probably could have arranged for more fun with an internet connection and working map navigation. I've had a smart phone with a data connection since 2003. You don't realize how dependent you are in things like that until they are gone.

I decided to wax the stache for Toronto. Its hard to find an outfit to match blue shoes. I ended up giving up on the shoes and wore all drab brown and olive with the blue bandana.

Fresh veggies, fruit and rice covered in olive oil and herb salt with tuna. I could eat this for every meal.

Had an amazing lunch at Kaydara noodle bar on Main street and Goodel. The food was unbelievably good and they don't even have their final lunch menu yet. According to the owner they do everything fresh including butchering their own animals. The prices were very reasonable. I will probably go back at least once a week as it is just a few blocks from work and home.

Main street just keeps getting better and better. Once the new buildings come to completion on the medical campus by Allen and Main and they finish fixing up the building that was falling down next to the red jacket - we may have an extended, healthy and vibrant section of main street after all.

Hope you have the best year ever. It should be a busy one.

Camped there for the night with @mike and @libertad. It was mikes first tenting trip ever. The theme was cowboys and Indians. Spend the night dancing and the day lounging poolside. I would totally go back. My neck wishes I had remembered my pillow last night.

We traveled on down to the Strong Museum of Play with Zooey. She was wound up already just going someplace with me in the car but then when we arrived she went totally bananas. The place is pretty cool. I would have gone just as crazy at her age.

The music was bad but we managed to have fun. Hung out with my cousin erica and then had a big backyard BBQ afterwards. I am going to miss thursdays and summer.

I wrote this gem back in 2007 when my tenants decided to have friends live with them and then tried to make me collect parts of the rent from each of those sub tenants.

Before I renew everyone's leases for August I just wanted to make it clear that I am not running a rooming house and that the rent for the apartments is for the total apartment regardless of how many tenants reside inside... From now on I need all rent checks in one envelope either in the mailbox or at my residence by the 5th of the month. I am tired of having to track down individual tenants for their portion of the rent. If I do not receive the full amount of rent for the apartment you will collectively have not fulfilled your rental obligation and will be subject to penalties for late payment (as laid forth in your lease). This will be strictly enforced - failure to comply will result in eviction.

Its like I never learned from my mistakes as I was much less hardcore with my new crop of tenants. Here we are on August 22 and I still don't have rent for one of my apartments because they are having some sort of mixup about who owes what.

This year I made zero dollars and heading towards the minus quickly.

Starting in october I am switching to a property management company. I am so tired of this shit.
