leaving montreal. short-term. longterm.
dear friends,
left montreal short-term this weekend for a little get-away on the shores of lake erie. some highlights:
* mandy's "little brother" joel deciding my name is sue ellen. mandy et al deciding that is appropriate since sue ellen was a big boozer on dallas. i embrace my dallas name as an alternate personality. carol ann by day, sue ellen by night. among the things sue ellen likes to say "i really want to get in a chair fight". you can take the girl out of trenton, but give her a dallas nickname and you can't take the trenton out of the girl.
* an unsucessful attempt to get into the turkey point hotel, instead going to the craziest kareoke bar ever. avoiding eating a pogo (um, breaded hotdog=ew). almost asking the drunken seventeen year old who needed to take his shirt off before ordering his pogo whether he was afraid of getting ketchup on his nipple.
* some fun times on the boat and tube. a dramatic triple flip exit from the tube. i somehow managed to hang on to the tube long enough for us both to rotate three times in the air. this is not quite as good as hez' dramatic 6 feet in the air exit or joel's face plant. but, witness below:
* my third trip to a p.r. lion's club chicken bbq. i love social capital in action. also i love pie and this year i bought a lovely elderberry pie from a sweet woman who explained to me that elderberries are wild blueberries and they take forever to prepare because they have tiny little stems. this was all extra special because i have never been to the ol' p.r. on a weekend when the chicken bbq wasn't happening. this is the first year that it has been on the civic holiday weekend. i like to think they may have changed it for me.
a big sunburn and a lot of via1 points later i am back in my urban home, but apparently not for long... as i just wrote my last montreal rent cheque and purchased my last monthly metro pass. single tear.
gotta run, workplace ethics kicking in.
