Toronto is fun. But I kept wanting to call it Tonto. "You savvy, Kemo
Sabe?" I kept saying, but none of the Torontonians understood. They
thought I was Albanian. They just shrugged and shook their heads and walked
off quickly. I've been to Montreal and Vancouver and Toronto. Toronto
rules. I kept asking Erin, "Where are all the scary people?" She just
shrugged and shook her head and walked off quickly. So many people and
nobody stabbed. I still don't know what to make of it.
