Isaac and I navigated the TTC to the CBC building last Friday where they were having an open house in support of the Daily Bread Food Bank. Paddy came to meet us over his lunch hour, and we were part of the live taping of "Ontario Today". Friday's show included a performace by the Nathaniel Dett Chorale, an outstanding Toronto-based chorale that you can check out at http://www.nathanieldettchorale.org/
On our way home on the subway we had a great talk with a fellow passenger who was in a wheel chair. I commented to him that it is quite difficult to navigate through the subway stations with a stroller, and obviously it's even more difficult in a wheel chair. As a last resort, atleast I can pick Isaac and the stroller up and haul him up stairs. Only about a third of the stations are wheel chair friendly. If you are in a chair, he said, you know where you can get off and where you can't. Imagine trying to navigate this endless city in a wheel chair - I have so much respect for that people that do; it's certainly not easy!
