Toronto project (and foodie alert)

Finished a day in alpha testing of a simulation training for GTD, partnering with a world-class simulation training designer, Don Jones, with whom I've been in conversation for years about this possibility. His Toronoto-based company, experience it, inc, is working with us to create a one-day simulation of the GTD experience. I sort of grew up in the training world in the experiential personal-growth milieu (was a facilitator for Insight Seminars for several years). Wondered if GTD could ever be translated into that kind of event, and I think Don's the guy. He designed the simulation training that Boeing has used for years for all their senior leadership. And we've been putting our heads together now for several months, getting serious with this project. He's got a global corporation as a client right now that is interested in piloting the program, so we've got a great laboratory. Cool stuff. I actually participated as a newbie today in our little alpha test, and it was fascinating to see what we might be able to pull off in a short period of time, with the right environment and context. Stay tuned.

And, for those of you keeping lists of good restaurants in cities you may frequent from time to time, add Reds to your list for Toronto. They're the high end of a large Canadian restaurant chain, but worth trying. Their Australian rack was the best I've had anywhere (and lamb is my bellwether dish for trying restaurants). Great wine list, etc.
