It's a short week this week. They need me at the station for part of Sunday because they're having a seminar about getting on the radio, so I swapped my half-day on Friday for the half-day I'll be needed on Sunday.

Quite the man, our John Graves--he founded Toronto, introduced English common law and trial by jury to what was then the colony of Upper Canada, and abolished slavery in 1793--making Ontario the first part of the British Empire to do so by decades.
Back on topic, thanks to Simcoe Day and my hour swap, I have a three-day week!
