Leaving Toronto on the Gardiner Expressway
It has been a busy couple of weeks and the next few will be equally as busy…probably even moreso. My nephews and I traveled to Toronto this weekend to attend the World Cup of Hockey tournament. I left Louisville at noon on Friday and made it to Pittsburgh around 7pm for a pit stop before heading out for Toronto at 6am on Saturday. The weather was bad but not as bad as the USA hockey team’s play against Europe….just awful!
It was a whirlwind trip as we made our way back to Pittsburgh right after the game (with a quick stop at Niagara Falls) and arrived around 1AM. I had about 6 hours of sleep, watched the first half of the Steelers game in Pittsburgh then hopped in the car for the 6 hour trip back to Louisville. Way too much time in the car for one weekend but that’s the way I do things sometimes. Below is a 360 degree photo of us in front of the Air Canada center waiting to get in the arena, a video from the opening ceremonies of the World Cup of Hockey and some random photos from the day.
I’m getting a little more high tech on the blog and am starting to use a 360 degree camera. Click and drag on the photo below to see the full 360 degree view. If you use a tablet you may need to expand the photo to full screen by clicking on the little expand icon in the lower right then move your tablet to see the full 360.

The weekend before involved a short trip to Cincinnati to see Angel Olsen play a concert for her new album called My Woman. I can’t recommend the album highly enough and was blown away by the quality of her live show. It was so good that I waited an hour after the show to have her sign my album and poster. I felt like a teenage groupie. Below are the songs “Sister” and “Those Were the Days” from the show. I apologize for the shaky start to the video. Enjoy.

Finally, we are getting ready for our trip to Armenia and Georgia in two weeks and I am hoping that I have everything in order. I will be posting to the blog while we are over there so stay tuned.
