Volleyball victors, ringtail love and here’s to wine in your lap

Upper left, Michael Caesar, executive director of the University Health Network, tweets his congratulations to the 15U Boys Leaside Thunder Silver Medalists in the 16U Provincial Cup. They are standing tall for sure. At the upper right we find Berta Mascarenhas and Ken Gruber having breakfast and discussing their wholesome interest in raccoons. The East York residents publish an annual Raccoon Calendar. This year they have added a book on where to find raccoons although many will say that ringtails are good enough at finding us. Others may opt for the mauve roses seen at Longo’s as a nice diversion. Moving right is a reminder of the 132nd Scout Christmas Tree Sale at Leaside Presbyterian Church, Eglinton Ave. and Hanna Rd. Then, when red wine goes flying into your lap in a restaurant what do you do? “Go home” is the wrong answer. In Leaside, this man has messaged Facebook members for urgent help. As of early Sunday there are an astonishing 36 responses to this plea. Some are a bit flippant.
