There was something a little sad about seeing the out-of-season,
kiddie section of Queen's Park yesterday.
I had to get out and try to take some pictures with my new camera. Unfortunately, the weather wouldn't cooperate. I wasn't out for long as the ground was soggy and I hadn't put on good shoes. It started pouring and I was completely alone in
Queen's Park. During the summer the kid's water slide is busy. It's right near the seasonal petting zoo. But on a rainy December day, it looked empty and forlorn. No children's voices could be heard.In a similarly creepy vein for the holidays, guess what show was on CBC the other evening? Rudolph is pretty cute. The program as a whole, though, is weird and slightly warped. Even Burl Ive's soothing voice really doesn't make the jerky animation and silly story palatable. Yet, I stayed glued to the television just as I probably had for many of the years since it was created in 1964.
