Winter in Canada

My job takes me to Canada every week lately. It’s always an adventure in the winter, but I haven’t been here absent a snow storm in weeks. Apparently this is the snowiest February in 117 years. Yay.

Holiday Inn On King Patch

The room patch panel at the Holiday Inn on King in Toronto is the best I’ve encountered in a hotel. Watch you tube on the room’s large LCD TV… Play your iPod through the sound system. Free broadband. All hotels should do this.

Red Brick Café, Guelph

IMG00192.jpg

As I’m spending more time in Guelph lately than expected, it has been a very good thing to discover the Red Brick Cafe. They have good food items and very good coffee. No overheated milk in the latte. They know the difference between a cappuccino and a latte. The coffee is excellent. Back before the US economy tanked, it would have been a good deal too, but with the US dollar trailing the Canadian one, it is only fairly priced.

Night in YYZ

The view from our hotel is very nice. They put us on the 20th floor with a balcony overlooking downtown Toronto.

I heart NY

The view from my luxurious hotel in NYC. Only $350 a night or so.
