Doris and I came down to Eaton Centre for some shopping and the Earth Day festivities. This is Eaton Centre with its lights dimmed in celebration of Earth Day. I was a bit disappointed that Toronto only saved 8% of electricity, despite all this hype?!?

Night shot of Toronto from the Docks. I'd came downtown to watch the NCAA Sweet 16 game between Cornell and University of Kentucky with my fellow alums. Cornell started really strong, jumping to an early 10-2 lead, before UK picked up and pwned us with a 22-6 run. :( Much to our chargin, stupid CBS decided to switch to the Xavier and Kansas came instead. We thought we could catch at least the end of the match, but noooo, Xavier had to hang on and force their game into 2OT. Cornell mounted a comeback, and at one point, trailed by only 6 points. But alas, the fairy tale couldn't hold, and UK took the match. It was definitely a season to savour though. I miss live college atmosphere. :(

Took this picture on my way back.
