Spring break: Regular readers of TheTorontoBlog.com may have noticed that I haven’t posted many updates during the past several weeks. As many of you know, this website is a personal hobby I work on in my spare time — and that’s something I haven’t had much of lately. Regrettably, I don’t have the resources to employ staff or freelance contributors to provide content updates when I’m busy with my day job.

Regular postings will resume in June.
