We returned to Toronto from out 10-day-stay in Montreal yesterday. Our flight was delayed but Sharky didn’t seem to mind as he ended up getting a lot of attention from passengers as well as the flight crew. Finally, we took off – 40 minutes late but thankful to be finally heading home.
The return flight was not without incident however. As we approached for our landing, we came down HARD, bouncing off the tarmac and then shakily taking flight, ascending rapidly as everyone around us wondered what the hell had happened. We came around for a second attempt and, this time, the landing stuck – but the brakes were applied with such ferocity that everyone was pitched forward in their seats. Finally, we taxied, and disembarked.
While heading out after retrieving our checked baggage, we were approached by a middle-aged woman who, clearly frazzled by the landing(s) asked if she could pet Sharky to calm her nerves. We (and Sharky) were more than happy to oblige and, in no time, she was massaging his ears and looking much more relaxed.
Akemi was absolutely wiped. She ended up crashing out on the couch for about an hour after lunch while I did some reading (I’m 9 books in to the best crime fiction releases of 2025 and, so far, I’m not all that impressed).
Speaking of Best Of, our Best Of Marathon kicks off Saturday at 3 pm with an X Space Pre-Show that will hopefully see me work out all the bugs ahead of the official marathon launch on Tuesday, July 1st and 9:00 p.m. when we’ll be discussing Andor and Babylon 5.
A reminder that our Columbo rewatch continues tomorrow with the season 6 premiere “Fade in to Murder” guest-starring the legendary William Shatner.
