Adventures Are Had

Even though winter is ridiculously gross and cold and gray most of the time, sometimes the sun comes out and you get an opportunity to do some cool stuff.
For example, this past Saturday we went to see the Barenaked Ladies!
CTV held a free Olympics Spirit day at Nathan Phillips Square and we got there just in time to watch a full set of awesome from the Barenaked Ladies. For a long time I’ve said that they would be one of the few bands that I would pay to see in a huge venue, and they were just as good as I’d hoped (and it was free!). They played a lot of their hits as well as a few new (post-Steven Page) songs. Great afternoon.
The following day the sun was out again and it even warmed up enough to go outside without almost dying from the cold. Candice and I decided to put on our sunglasses and travel to the International Discount Foods in search of some delicious European chocolate.
We trekked over a frozen soccer field and eventually made it to the IDF where we spent some time browsing through the items we couldn’t read.
As fun as this all seems, the story has a very sad ending. Unfortunately, after close inspection, almost all of the chocolate in the store “may or may not contain gluten”. There was one bar that did not have this warning on its label, and upon trying to purchase it the cashier tells us that we didn’t have enough to use a credit card, and neither of us had enough cash or a debit card. So we didn’t get any chocolate.
Tragic.
However, we live to eat chocolate another day.
