"These hands are not for boxing, but for hugging."

I saw the Dalai Lama today.

He was giving a lecture about Cultivating Happiness, although he was tired and could never remember what the topic was. His speech was good though. I took a few notes. His Holiness is one of those people who make you feel like you can do anything, if only for a few hours.

He became the third person ever to receive an honourary Canadian citizenship today. As What's-His-Name, the Canadian Citizenship guy said today to everyone at GM Place, Je suis très honoré to have been there. Apparently it was a unanimous decision in the HoC to give it to him. Raoul Wallenberg and Nelson Mandela are the only other people to every receive an honourary Canadian citizenship.

We ate dinner a The Old Spaghetti Factory.

Tomorrow is Troilus and Cressida at Vanier Park. And maybe shoe shopping.
