Laer, on a rare outing outside the apartment.
My friend Laer is a typical male Cancer (horoscope wise). What that means, according to some books, is he's a homebody, enjoys staying at home and usually takes a lot of effort for other people to get him to go out. When the crab actually gets outside to see the sun it's a time to rejoice as it's usually such a rare occasion.
I was happy to hear that Laer wanted to join me for lunch. We ended up going to a burger place located downstairs from where he lives. So okay it's not travelling far but at least he's getting outside the apartment. The burger combo was a pretty good choice and value for the money.
After lunch we did a quick visit to the Silver Snail, a comic book and toy store that's been around since I used to take recorder lessons when I was a kid. I remember it being a closet on Queen street. It's moved locations twice since then but still remains in roughly the same area.

We bumped into Gabe, an A.D. I haven't seen since the days of Earth Final Conflict. He too was perusing the merchandise. Comics have gone up quite a bit since I last collected them. The last cover price I remember was $1.25. Now there's some that are $8.00. How do kids entertain themselves these days?

Hey, I'll have you know that just 2 days ago I went as far as the end of my street. I would have gone further, but I was frightened back by a man with a beard.
(Actually, I recently went all the way to Scarbourough for Rainy's party... Didn't see YOU there, smartass....)
