1) Sound check in Toronto. Show 2, not much to do, so I watched the sound check.

Ok, so things got a little busy after day 5. I got into Montreal, had a day and a half to walk around and take in the city, and lots of really good food.

Then it was off to Toronto where we had our first late night adult beverage outing with a couple of people from the tour, and back-to-back shows in the same arena, and another truck unloading.

Coming back across the border was event-free. And we arrived in Hartford with the day off, and the knife TSA found in my backpack was waiting for me, as was a cold frosty beverage at a local pub.

Then it was three straight days of shows: Hartford, DC, and Boston.

Got some tickets for my Uncle and his family as well as tickets for my sister in-law. They all enjoyed the show, and I my Uncle took me out for drinks and dinner the next night, after a long morning of unloading another truck, but this time on to skids and the airport shipping dock.

Had a great night in Boston. Had my first-ever clam chowder, and a quick visit to the new Boyleston Street Apple Store, my cousin’s decision, not mine.

Flew out the next day, back through Philly (the 3rd time in 2 weeks), and I decided to splurge and pay the upgrade fee to sit in First Class, which was nice b/c US Air was charging for drinks and coffee on this flight.

I arrived home safe and sound. And back to the real world.
