The Web. The last day of a Web of Trust design workshop is the one of frantic work, as you see the minutes and hours slowly slipping away. We managed to meet our goal, which was to fully write the fifteen problems and solutions for the five people we want to evangelize about self-sovereign identity and fully outline the introduction and conclusion. I feel we really came together on this last day, with a few different people stepping up to write, and even when I was writing, it was either me talking and someone else typing or vice-versa. Whew! We also agreed on a schedule that will week by week get the final pieces in place and the paper done in about six weeks. (Suddenly I understand better how things slow down outside of the workshop, as typically, I've stepped back from the papers I was collaborating on — something that I couldn't do here, since this was my baby.)

The Walk. I've taken to going to the last night's dinner, since the dinners became more official in Santa Barbara, and so I did that today. There was of course another 30 minutes of Lyfting to get there. However, I made sure I got there early so that I could go and walk a bit beforehand, because I saw there was a park (remarkably!) with an entrance less than 5 minutes from the restaurant. It was the Etobicoke Creek Trail, and it was absolutely gorgeous. A nice creek to one side and nice trees all around, some of then starting to redden in autumn's grasp. I only had time to walk 10 minutes down it, before I turned around, but it was well worth while. Also, the only place in Mississauga that I've seen bikes, but there were a couple going up and down the paved trail. I would absolutely have loved to bike it, since it seemed to go northwest a few miles and south a similar mile. (But, according to Wikipedia, Etobicoke is actually the west edge of Toronto, so maybe that was the difference.)

The Dinner. And I had dinner with the surviving remnants of the RWOT crew at the Princes Japanese Steakhouse. Fortunately, they had piles of stuff other than steak. Most people got meat and veggies from their Benihana-like grilling at your table, but I got some sushi. It was good enough. Hopefully it won't give me a huge rash, like the last time I had sushi in Canada. (That admittedly was further from the sea.)

And the work is done! Tomorrow I tour Toronto the little bit I can then get on a long flight back home and some 21 or so hours after I wake up, collapse back into bed.
