The three things I would have missed most, had I not been lucky enough to have had David (a wonderful, honest soul) be the one to find my purse and return it intact:

1) Cell phone (only personal real-time means of communication these days. also, officially, belonging to my grandmother.)

2) Camera (not to mention the financial loss, I've grown accustomed to being able to capture digital freeze-frames at my whim.)

3) Writer's notebook (been keeping the same one, in my signature microscopic printing, since 2002. 'nuff said?)

Big phew. And thank-you. To those who helped in the search & rescue, and those who otherwise made my Harbourfront to Cherry Beach evening so grand.

Toronto is full of lovely people.
