I went on several trips this April. The first was to Montreal and was our trial run for an overnight trip with Apollo. Then, later in the month I went to NYC for work. That was a short trip, as I left home Thursday morning and made it to the office, door-to-door in 4.5 hours flying Porter. I expected to get back on Friday night – however, my flight got delayed so I ended up staying an extra night and came back on Saturday instead. The delay was a bit weird, as it was due to weather; but the weather at both EWR and YTZ seemed fine. I was flying back on the day that they caught the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, and it seemed like that would be the cause, but NYC was rather unaffected by that event.

Because my trip to NYC was so short, there wasn’t much noteworthy from it. I did go to yet another Momofuku location – the ssäm bar; but that was due to the team deciding to go there for lunch.

The Boston Marathon bombing and ensuring manhunt/craziness in the Boston area was the major story of the month. They locked down Boston for a day while two brothers caused chaos around the suburbs of Cambridge and Watertown – both places that we visited when we went to Boston in 2012. This month also saw the deaths of Margaret Thatcher and Rita McNeil – I just saw Rita McNeil a few months back on Strombo and so was a bit surprised that she died (apparently due to complications from surgery).

The hockey season ended this month, and surprisingly, the Leafs will play hockey in May. We’ll see how long that lasts for (not more than one series I bet). I also started working on another Android app (not for work, but personal) but I’m not ready to blog/talk too much about it yet. I’m hoping it will be successful (in Toronto at least).
