Ah, now that is a cool word...buckled. That means I gave in, I quit, I gave up the argument. I guess the term comes from when metal can't take weight and buckles under the pressure.
I took most of my pictures down, for now anyway. It doesn't seem to matter since I have added two new friends in the days since I removed the pictures.
It's early, very early on Sunday morning here in Toronto. The weather is now cool, I guess some people would say cold. It gets down to 8 at night and the highs during the day are 12 to 15 right now. We'll have warmer weather again but then I think we are in for the deep freeze! Snow and cold will hit soon.
I'm up early because this is the morning of my 5K run in the Toronto Marathon run for a local cancer hospital. My son, James, is going to run with me so I am really looking forward to today. The race is at 8. Wish me luck! I'll write more when I get home. 27 minutes, here I come!
