For Tanya's birthday, i got her tickets to see the SOUND OF MUSIC musical in toronto. We dropped the kids off at her parents and around 11:30 left to head into the big city. We have been famous for showing up just as the house lights go down so I was determined to change that. Figuring we only had an hour drive and 2 hrs to do it in, i assumed we had loads of time. I didn't account for construction and an ornery and messed up GPS. Anyway, we arrived just as they were shutting the door... maybe 30 seconds to spare. It was a great performance and we had a good time

Part way through the show, where the kids are going up the stairs at the dinner party, i was looking at the actors dancing and then I leaned over to tanya... hey, one of the actors is that annoying Canadian Tire dude. Tanya wasn't so sure but I'd recognize that agonizing face anywhere... at intermission, the lights came up and I checked the playbill and sure enough, Ted Simonnet... aka Canadian Tire Dude.
