Another Wet Weekend

Well, it’s confirmed. VIA Rail is out on strike for the weekend, so your plan to get to DiversCite may be fubar-ed.

Of course, you could always join the good men and women biking to Montreal this coming week on the annual Friends for Life Bike Rally to raise money for the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation. They’re having a send-off party Sunday morning at 9am, rain or shine, at Queen’s Park. Show them some love, or better yet, sponsor a rider. I sponsored my Xtra blogging buddy Scott Dagostino very easily online.

Otherwise, it’s looking to be a very wet weekend here in Toronto, so you’ll probably want to stay indoors for most of it. Luckily, The Toronto Star has provided this wonderful instructional video that makes me want to get an entirely different kind of wet. Enjoy!:
