interesting evening

Attended the RASC Toronto Centre meeting. This was the special one, with Dr David Levy talking.

A few of us decided to meet up earlier than usual. We expected it to be popular. I was the first to arrive, via the TTC, to the restaurant. Shortly after Millie and Dietmar arrived, they seated us. Then Phil and finally Joel arrived. It was like NEAF all over! We enjoyed drinks and a light meal.

We made the OSC in good time. Phil and I were all surprised that the parking lot was not full. A few of us high-tailed it to the auditorium to get good seats. David was at the lectern getting set up.

I turned in some paperwork. And received a RASC calendar (finally) for the CAO.

David's talk was quite good. While scattered at times, he told a tale of growing up, family, early interests, camping, good teachers, passion. Heart wrenching at times. Not what I expected.

The PowerPoint presentation file looked good! Finally.

As per usual, we retired to the Granite after. The place was busy and we had to sit in a different spot. When Paul M arrived later, he refused to sit with us. More segregation. Or maybe he doesn't like Levy. It was just one more thing that set me off for the evening. Not really comfortable.

I saw licence plate samples handed around. I asked if they had accommodated for tags. Yep.
