I spent the last week working in my classroom, cleaning instruments, selecting music for this year's concerts, writing lesson plans, and getting my head ready for my ninth year as a public school orchestra teacher.  This time of year is always hard for me--leaving summer's freedom for routine and...

I am still amazed by how little I knew about Toronto before last week's trip.  All my life I've heard about the sights in Paris, London, and Sydney, yet virtually nothing about this terrific city just a few miles from the U.S. border.  Like Tim Cahill wrote in his book Road Fever, "Niceness...
