Catch Up

The Paikin

It's been quite some time since I've submitted a blog post. I have a strange relationship with my blog. One the one hand I have very few readers so in a sense it's more like a diary. On the other hand I know that it's essentially a public document so I'm very hesitant to discuss issues that are actually meaningful to me. This tension between private and public often prevents me from making any posts at all. Anyway, one of the many posts I didn't make was regarding TVO Kids day I attended at Black Creek Pioneer Village. Great fun! As you can see above I got the chance to meet Steve Paikin, host of The Agenda. That was kind of exciting for me as I have a lot of respect for his work. The kids also had a blastPokaroo Gives Asha a Hug (yes, I was there mostly for the kids). Here they got a chance to meet Polkaroo "in person". What exactly is Polkaroo anyway? Polkaroo made a lot more sense when he was 0n Polka Dot Door. Whatever . . .  the kids love it. I must admit I was very impressed with the caliber of entertainment provided to the kids--and all for no other cost than that of admission. There were puppet shows, TVO Kids personalities doing skits and getting the kids to dance. We were there the entire day including buying the lunch there (the TVO Kids meal which included lunch bags one of which I'm now using). Great day!
