Though crazily tired from the daylight savings shift, plus a workweek, plus two straight days awake due to travel, it was heartening to get to Victoria, see my brother Sasha, and explore a few parks and scenic sights with him, my brother Mica, his wife Leigh, and their daughter Mila:

Tomorrow is Sasha’s benefit concert.
I had to stop going because I kept bruising my ribs and injuring my joints, but the Hart House Judo Club is pretty great — especially when you consider that all the senseis work for free and donate the mandatory class fees for club social events.
I was heartened to see that senseis Jorge, Bernard, and Izidor were granted the U of T Arbor Award for their exemplary volunteerism.
