Spouse and I are celebrating Canada Day with the friendliest neighbours to our north, in Toronto.  <\/p>\n<p>We arrived on the smoothest flight and entry I have ever experienced.  But nothing was more surprising than&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n&#8230;being informed when we arrived at our hotel that we had been upgraded to the honeymoon suite.<\/p>\n<p>How did that happen?  A zillion years ago, I taught someone in a class and encouraged her to excel in the field of my profession.  She did&#8230; most excellently.  She eventually became the assistant director of our shared profession for the world-wide corporate headquarters of the hotel chain where we are staying.  She arranged our room upgrade, for which we are grateful.<\/p>\n<p>This room rambles all over the place, has a spa tub, large living room, and very comfortable bedding.  We are thrilled and humbled to be welcomed this way.<\/p>\n<p>Now we are off to explore this delightful city on Canada Day!<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TorontoHunk.jpg?resize=584%2C287\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"287\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TorontoHunk.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TorontoHunk.jpg?resize=300%2C147&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TorontoHunk.jpg?resize=150%2C74&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TorontoHunk.jpg?resize=500%2C246&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  live life and love it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings!
