Dear reader,
I’m headed to Toronto for the weekend.
Amazing how it can take you two flights and six hours to travel to a city essentially two states away. My theory is that the non-nonstop flight pattern is some sort of Canadian conspiracy, much like hiding Michael J. Fox until his pubescent years and everything “en Francais” and their famous geese. Oh well. More free Delta snacks for meeee, suckas!
Or something like that.
I am hoping not to spend the weekend obsessed with the conversion of stupid celsius to formidable fahrenheit. (I’m pretty sure I will. It just won’t be enough that COLD = REALLY FREAKING COLD. And success with simple conversions makes up for the GRE, now doesn’t it?) I expect that I will a) meet in person north-of-the-border friends and b) inappropriately corner them barside, forcing them to eat apple pie and watch King of the Hill. And I simply can’t wait to drink wine grown in the fertile grounds under the CN Tower and snap pictures for Internet posting of my host and his wife while they are sleeping in strange positions and/or drooling.
I hear they drool real, live maple syrup, people.
Blog to you this weekend,
Kris

Have an awesome time, eh. Don’t forget your toque and some mittens.
And, I may never eat maple syrup again. Thanks.
Hehehehe. Welcome to this side of the border! Have a great time!
Oh, and steer clear of the Peelee Island wines… unless they’ve improved DRAMATICALLY over the last two years (which I doubt), it’s SO not worth it ;)
Bon voyage!
I thought Canadians drooled beer. And not that crappy 3.2 beer from the states but honest to sweet baby jeebus Molson Brador.
That’s also what the mamma’s lactate with. I read it on Wikipedia so it has to be true.
Have a great time on your trip to the Great White North.
I hope those hosers at Delta get you there and back without any hassles, eh?
Drooling maple syrup. Too funny! Thanks for the smile this morning and enjoy your trip.
Damn it, I forgot. I was going to ask if you wanted to do Indian (the food not actually…nevermind) this weekend and test out my new wine opener, but you’ll be up north. So! Tell Jorge and Mrs. J I said what up.
Have fun!
they kept him in a cage in a root cellar. it’s not a secret
Don’t sweat the temperature measurement (no pun intended).
Remember that when you listen to or watch the weather forecast, anything under 10C is cold.
And tell your hosts that you want to take a day-trip to Halifax to hang out with other fun blogging types. I’m sure they’ll give you a lift out here.
Have fun dahling. Have fun trying to pick out the Candians from the regular people. xoxo
Have fun.
Eat some jelly doughnuts, eh.
And be sure to KIT.
It would be easy to get offended at all those Candian slights… except we get Kris for the weekend, so there! :p
CANADA ROCKS!
Yeah.
We could be offended, Kelly.
But they are true. ;)
Hurry your ass up and get here already mama!
Mama rocks my world. I’m so excited! But I’ll miss you Heather B.
:)
Like Kim, I guess Mama wouldn’t pack you in her bags. Sorry to hear that. Next time maybe???
Have fun, Canadian style.
Have a fantastic time, eh?
Can’t wait to see your pics!
Maybe I’ll run into you in a local watering hole or at the liquor store — if you haven’t visited a giant LCBO outlet, you really should check it out. It’s the Ontario version of Disneyland (that’s not just me who thinks that, is it?)
Enjoy!
The LCBO gives you Air Miles when you buy booze! We don’t have such luxuries out here in BC! Of course, Air Miles probably don’t mean much to Americans, do they?
Have fun in TO, Mama. Take a Jager Bomb for me!
Gawd damn that a G-R-R-Reat night!
We’ll certainly have to renite for seconds.
Hope your flight(s) home were uneventful.
xo
Rich & Kelly
It’s probably too late but, for future reference:
30 is hot
20 is nice
10 is cold and
0 is ice
Hope you had a nice weekend.
Jenn – Pelee Island wines are great!
:)
Mama – Was awesome having you up here. When are you coming back?
Hugs
Jorge- Well, if you say so, I’ll give ‘em another shot :)
Come back Mama! I miss you…….All 4.5 of us miss you!
Et alors? Ca va bien? How the heck was your trip to the Great White North? It’s a very very big and cold place. Even scarier though, it’s a bilingual country.
