Congratulations, SD!  I liked Montreal in the summer.  I lived near Sherbrooke St? Avenue?, on Shuter St.  I remember a gorgeous place on Sherbrooke that served the best gravy I've ever eaten.  I worked at the Allen Memorial Institute, about a half-hour walk, and would climb part-way up and lie in the grass and read after work. 
It's good to see you back on the board here.
