I am literally counting down the days now, until Shobhit and I leave for Toronto. We arrive early in the morning Wednesday, so that's seven days—but we
leave just before midnight on Tuesday, so that's only six days from tonight! And actually it's the flight itself that leaves—actually, at 11:10 pm. I don't know why I keep thinking it's at like 11:50. We'll want to be at the airport by 9:00, maybe even 8:30 since it's an international flight. Which means leaving home probably around 7:30. That only hit me just now as I was writing this.
I have plenty to do, both at work and in my personal life, between now and then. But I am still really, really looking forward to this trip. It is likely to be the single trip of this scale we take this year. I don't even have any other hotel stays planned for the rest of the year besides the two in Tokeland on the Washington Coast for the Biannual Family Vacation in August. Although a trip to visit Scott in Phoenix is still in the cards.

I just had a quiet evening at home last night. I watched the two premiere episodes of the new Disney+ series
The Acolyte, and . . . it's not that great, honestly. I then watched the first twenty minutes or so of Ron Howard's documentary on Jim Henson, which I still intend to finish, but I paused it to upload a few photos on my laptop, which I did while sitting out in the living room so I could actually spend some time with Shobhit.
All he did, really, was channel surf. I had a couple of suggestions for things to watch, but Shobhit didn't seem in the mood to watch a movie, or to truly lock in with anything, really. He kept flipping back and forth between a Seattle Storm game (an unusual thing for him to watch) and a Canadian show called
Still Standing, where a Canadian comedian named Jonny Harris visits peope in struggling small towns, then does a local standup show for the town where he talks about his experience there. It's actually a pretty compelling concept, also something unusual for Shobhit to watch.
The place the show visited in this episode was on the northern shore of Lake Eerie, called Port Stanley, an Ontario town of about 2,000 roughly halfway between Toronto and Detroit. The episode was from 2022.
It's kind of interesting how much time Shobhit spends watching the CBC channel, or local news from Vancouver, B.C. He's been doing this since long before we decided on this trip to Toronto.
