Road Trips.

Short and sweet this week. Well, this explanation part is short.

It's spring, and it's time to get out on the road, and enjoy the beautiful land that you live in.

For us, it's Southern Ontario, and this week, I'm telling you about one of the options that can help you with that exploration.

Diners.

You wouldn't think that Toronto would have many of them.

Where would they put them?

Well, unfortunately – there is room for one more.

Today, I take a look at Canadian Diners – but the trigger for this week's topic is the closing of one of the city's longest surviving restaurants – The Patrician Grill. I have a link at my website for a news story which was recorded on the day that we dined there for lunch.

Ah, the life of a Canadian kid.

The light starts dropping at 4pm.

Dinner is had by 6pm, and you REALLY hope it wasn't going to be poached fish in milk, or liver and onions...

There was just time to watch a bit of TV, and maybe get your homework done, before the game started at 8. You didn't know it at the time, but you were listening to history being made.

The “scintillating saves”, the “Savardian-spinarama”, the “Oh baby!” and the “Holy mackinaw!”

These were the words that became the catch-phrases of this Leaf fan's youth.

Today's focus is on the man who just retired, after using one of those sentences for over 40 years, to help celebrate the successes of his favourite hockey team.
