If I start it playing right as I leave my front door, I can listen to both acts of H.M.S. Pinafore during my morning commute.
The D’Oyly Carte Opera Company has a good recording from 1989.

Ryerson tuition protest
On my way back from getting a chest x-ray done, I saw a demonstration while waiting for a streetcar. It seemed to be Ryerson students petitioning the provincial government for lower tuition rates. I doubt they will have much luck with that, given the mood of austerity, but it’s good to see people making an effort.
Much delayed and snowed upon
The combination of grossly insufficient sleep and mild snowfall has produced a morning of havoc. My normally-hour-and-a-half commute became two and a half hours, with people crammed cheek-by-jowl in a streetcar with totally fogged windows, lurching among confused drivers. Then, I forgot my (quite durable and expensive) umbrella somewhere on the subway or in a subway station.
With luck, it will turn up at the TTC lost and found within a few days.
