after the climb cn tower

april showers, bring joy and wonder forever.   april 15.. vol. recognition party.. mexican theme, lively, a short acquiantance tiny moments.  followed by early morning wake-up call.  cn tower climb day.  rainy, cool, kipling to jane  subway line was close.  shuttle buses were very efficient.  nonstop, trip.  when i arrived to register it was already 745 am.  my little breakfast from mcdonald was good, eggmcmuffin... better than sausageeggmcmuffin.  long line-up to register, line-up to reach the base of the tower, metal detectors before going inside the tower, no cell phones or else you are send back to were you started. 
finally by 825am we started  the ascend.. 11 steps per stair case.  i was climbing easy, no rush, no pain, no grasping for breathe.. just easy walk upstairs.  took 44.21 sec.. long time but, very relaxing.  no rushing to beat any short term goal of hurrying to the top. 
it was raining hard when i left the base of the tower, soaking wet.  got some goodies, tshirt, free readmission to tower and lookout.  still early so i decided to walk towards eaton centre.  i can't walk to st. lawrence market, cuz, it was still raining hard and i don't have an umbrella. 

the day before, i have to pay income tax >600 and dave >300.  april 15
bought a new tv 32 SONY.
