Feeling my way around…
Well, it is now day 6. I am sure you are all curious as to what kinds of mischief I have gotten myself into already. But before I can tell you that, I have to say that I saw Isolde Monteverdi perform at the Toronto Summer Festival on Thursday night! She was FAAAAB!!!!!! I am so proud of her, and I am proud to say that she came from Winnipeg, home-grown, from our little FOM at the U of M, and brought the house down!!! I met up with her aftrerwards at the after-cast party, and we caught up a bit.
So now, here I am. I was saying that it is now day 6, did I not? One thing I have noticed about being here in Toronto is the incredible number of pigtails running around shamelessly on the streets!!! Everyone wears pigtails!!! Maybe some of you (HELGA!) should come down for a visit and take copious notes. But of course, I am in NO WAY obsessed with pigtails, so it is not like I am getting any kind of a thrill out of it. They just look cute flopping about in the wind as they pass by.
So far, I have seen some very strange people, in some very strange outfits zwiddling desperately about the city streets. People with blue hair, pink shirts and green pants or skirts is one example of the many desperate fashion violations running rampant and wontonly up and down Avenue Road! And that is another thing!!! Who in their right (or even left) mind had the nerve to name a street ‘Avenue Road’? I mean, REALLY!!!
Tomorrow, I have two important meetings to attend. One is with my new voice teacher. I am looking forward to meeting…her! I have heard so much about her and am looking forward to working with her. But so far, I am still alive, and kicking, and I have not yet walked into anything solid. So things are looking up!
Now, not to toot my own horn here, but it would be nice if you would leave a comment or six on my blog page…it would let me know that you were there. Just thought I would drop a hint here and there for you, just in case you didn’t know it. I know you are all busy and need a little assist in this department from time to time, and I am all too filled with glee to help!

Glad to hear you’re doing well Paul and that you’ve found a place to rest your head for a while. As for pigtails… well, they will be no more until you return. But Lulu on the other hand has worn them everyday since
Kidding.
Take care and keep blogging!
Hey Paul, Sorry I missed your ‘adieu’ on Tuesday. I hear there was cake and pigtails. Be good and keep blogging. We’re still reading!
Paul! I’m so sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye to you before you left. Hopefully I’ll see you when I come out east for auditions in Western and possibly Toronto. Anyway, glad to here things are going well for you. Miss you buddy.
Hello Paulinus!!!
Yes… we are still alive and (kick/zwiddle)-ing! Glad to hear things are rolling along out there in the big T. Give me a shout sometime if you need anything. Much love!
