September 12: Cornwall/Ottawa/Toronto




I took a short walk along the Waterfront Trail in Cornwall. I guess if I continue walking long enough, I could end up back at home in Toronto.


We wrapped up what I would consider a successful weekend, headed back to Ottawa airport, then scattered our different ways.


The bonus of flying Porter Airlines is that it gets me within walking distance of home. Along the walk, I heard strains of baroque music being played nearby in the Music Garden--a nice brief “stop and smell the roses” experience.


I quickly dropped off my bags and headed out to my improv class. When I had decided to take a year off, I was looking at what I would like to do with my time. I checked around for an improv comedy class and came up with the Impatient Theatre Company’s Improv 101, intensive version. Kevin, the founder of the company, is a dynamic and positive teacher. Those three days in August spent in his improv class instilled in me not only some basic improv skills, but better self-awareness and interpersonal skills. For those in Toronto, I highly recommend this class: it gets my vote for the best freebie in Toronto!
