This morning CBGB called and asked us if we wanted to go for brunch. After some minor waffling because we had brunch yesterday, and because I’ve got lots to do today, we happily caved and met them on the Danforth. We went to the Old Nick, a pub well known for their brunch. I was pretty impressed, actually; I had the “Well Hung” breakfast, consisting of scrambled eggs, chicken sausage (with bits of pineapple and red pepper), home fries, greens and toast & jam…all of it organic. GB got pretty much the same thing, and CB got some french toast that looked pretty damn tasty (also organic through and through). Nellie went old school and got the non-organic bacon & eggs, and couldn’t get her eggs done properly (she never can; does anyone know how to ask for eggs fried over very, very hard, with nothing even remotely resembling liquid left inside?) but she seemed to enjoy it overall.

There was a ton of food on my plate, but I didn’t feel stuffed or greasy after eating it. I think we’ll be going back; now that we’re going over there more to see CBGB, it’s slowly sinking in that the west end of the Danforth really isn’t very far away. I blame the Don Valley for being a mental barrier.

The Senators, once again, have bowed out of the playoffs much sooner than expected. To me, their chances of winning the cup faded badly around the same time as my chances of winning my hockey pool: when Dominik Hasek was injured early in the Olympic tournament. As Bob McKenzie says, the team will likely be dismantled to some degree.

I gotta say, if you’d told me that Ottawa would be knocked out by Buffalo and Carolina would have New Jersey on the ropes, while Anaheim was moving on in the west and waiting for the winner of Edmonton & San Jose (which looks to be the only real scrap in round 2, unless Jersey can win today), I’d have called you a crazy man. Or woman. Or what have you.

Sigh…have to start reading marketing again.
