Americans have invaded my City!

But they were nice Americans. Really nice actually. This weekend, Toronto hosted the North American AA conference. All of them said nice things about Canadians and Toronto and all the ones I heard said they were going to come back. And they wanted to know if I was a Native.

What really struck me about them was how supportive they were of each other. I was sitting on the streetcar listening to 4 or 5 of them, all from different parts of the U.S. telling their stories and offering an ear and a kind word for others in the group. It was almost like a revival meeting. I have to say that I was pretty impressed. There, but for the Grace of God, go I, I suppose.
