Wet and cold today. Snow flurries. I was back at the Friends of the Library and Archives Canada sorting books. I left early to get home in time to have a snooze. In the later afternoon we were off to the National Gallery of Canada for a reception for Western Alumni. We started off with a brief tour of the European Gallery. This was great. The paintings and sculptures were just a good as those in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The one big difference was the quantity available to view. Following was the reception where we met a few Alumni that we knew. The new president of the University gave a brief pitch for the future of Western. There were lots of free drinks and hors d'oeuvres. A good evening. Did some sourcing on my LINK family tonight. Walked 5.5 km.
