Home!

So I went back to T.O... again! You jerks all keep getting married the year I go away.. but a fantastic trip.. just not long enuff =P... got to see mostly everybody for about 2 seconds each =P. Stag in Montreal the weekend before Toronto went off without a hitch, much good times as always, and then it was back in town for a whirlwind tour... Stag was awsoma good times, thank god because I was sweatin' everything big time, we ended up going to a shooting range in montreal, thank got that went ok, cuz 13 guys hung over and on a stag + guns doesn't always make a good mix!! Beyond that I think we've redeemed Montreal as a stag destination of choice- Wedding was great as well even if I made a near dog's breakfast of the speech.

Didn't quite get to do the full Starz/DKP tour... only managed to catch Dharney, Gardiner, MikeG and Fabrillo, next time must book more time off to come home... hot damn was it nice to be on Canadian soil again, if only for a little while.

On the more random side of things ended up going to Screamers fri night for the first time, good times, the asylum haunted house was the best, the others were so-so... no idea when I'll be able to go home again so not
managing to see everybody was a bit of a disappointment, but with any luck be back for a bit of a visit early next year. That reminds me, still gotta send out a thank you letter to all the stag boyz and show them the pics- the pics for the wedding, stag, and general visit pics are in my gallery in the usual place- since I'm pretty sure Roger and Roubina are the only ones that read this thing I'm guessing you guys know where to find them =P!!

Ooot and Aboot in Sheep/Wine Country

Soo.. been a while since the last post... lazy lazy me... anyway, last few months have been funz, hit up Edinburgh for a few days in August, and then Bordeaux in beginning of Oct. Both cool places-! I think Bordeaux was more fun but damn you have to see the scenery to believe it in Scotland- Bordeaux was no slouch either, St. Emillion which is a small village near by is incredible-


Food wise was also pretty neat, had a few good wines in Bordeaux, tried 'Ris de Veau' (cow lymphatic glands) in France... and a little bit of Haggis in Scotland. Haggis was pretty good, Ris de Veau was pretty gross... live and learn.. Next stop I think we are going to try something a bit on the warmer side, originally we were going to go to Marrakech, but ole Allah likes his Ramadan nice and quiet so that kinda sunk that trip.
