Ride the Caterpiller

So I had a pretty good day today in Toronto on course trying to learn to be a better manager I was up just after 5 and took the train to toronto. I was feeling guilty about taking the course on my daughters birthday but I'd be home just after 7 and it wouldn't be too bad... I got on the subway around 4:10pm and my VIA Train was to leave at 5:30. No worries. In 40 minutes, the train had gone about 4 stops. There I sat stuck on a "Rocket" somewhere between Summerhill & St. Clair. Finally got to Bloor and the subway was shut down completely south of bloor so you can imagine the mayhem of people trying to escape the underground. There was a sea of people as far as the eye could see and all of a sudden i hear this voice, "Hey Bruce" and it was Bryan Sarles. I eventually got out and and ran, tried to get a bus, walked, the sidewalks were just jammed. It's hot and i'm sweating like a greased pig. I eventually got to union at 5:40 and promptly missed my train. Next train to Belleville is 10:00pm... i'm heading to cobourg and thumbing a ride from there.... and yes, i win father of the year award as I'll miss my daughters birthday completely. Stink. Feels like a scene from Plains, Trains & Automobiles.
