Dylan attended a birthday party this weekend at the historical house of William Lyon Mackenzie, Toronto's first mayor and owner of the first newspaper printing machine (he who controls communication, controls the world).
The children were able to print their names in the painstakingly slow process of old. Then, we went for a tour of the house and reviewed the culture and daily life activities of Toronto in the early 18th century.
After the party Dylan and I had a 2-hour drive to the chalet which we spent making up a story about the "Printer's Apprentice". We envisioned a young man arriving in Toronto from England to learn the trade of printing and in the end marrying one of Mackenzie's 14 children.
