update from toronto

I thought i'd better post something, since it has been a while. Toronto has been good to us these last couple of weeks. on saturday we went on a demo against israeli apartheid and to boycott Indigo and chapters (two major bookstores here in canada). The major shareholders of these bookstores have created a fund so volunteers (who are not israeli citizens) can join the israeli army. the protest was even allowed to walk along bloor street. there were three people with israeli flad following the protest on the other side of the street. they apparently could not gather more anti support than that.
yesterday we went skiing with kathleen and lorien. was good, but very windy some places which made it really cold. laurence is getting very good at skiing. this week is reading week for me, so i will take a break from the forestry building (much needed break).
