Long delay in posting.
The trip home for Christmas left me either too busy to write… or too
tired by the time things settled. Even
now, I got back in Ottawa supper time yesterday… worked today… and got
groceries afterwards.
So a short one today and back on schedule. It is new, and improved (with added words for
Christmas) Magnetic Poetry!
Whisper wonders of
warmth
Beneath tendriled
sunshine
Happiness staggers
darkly
And cracks barefoot
through ecstatic tickle dreams
Slicing red liquid
from skin
As morning peace
secretly pronounces immense thoughts of comfort
TUESDAY…
--- Snowy day for flying out. Melissa is a saint, driving across
town to get me and bring me to the airport.
--- Flight is slow leaving. We board on time but then need to
de-ice. Fifteen minutes later we move out but stop at the runway. After another
ten minutes they say we need to go back to the gate to pick up two
passengers... Which seems ridiculous to make us all late cause two were slow
getting to the airport. So it's back to the gate, power down, ramp comes back
and the door opens... A bit of talking and then they close up and we're on our
way again... Having picked up nobody. Is Porter turning into Air Canada?
--- Flight note... Super Furry Animals are really underrated in the
grand scheme of music. Make for so good in flight listening.
--- Home for supper and some hanging out around the house. Mom and dad both fighting the cold.
WEDNESDAY…
--- With dad sick, mom and I go downtown for some shopping. Lots done.
Gifts for others and my gift from the parents.
--- After supper, Wince pops by and visits. A good first day back home.
THURSDAY…
--- Some shopping with mom and dad and lunch at bidgoods. Missed the storm in Ottawa… maybe it will
come here in a few days.
FRIDAY…
--- Stay pretty close to home.
SATURDAY…
--- Out to Jim and Kristann’s in the evening. Nice visit there.
SUNDAY…
--- Pouring rain most of the day… and that wind. Lunch with Craig is good and hang around the
house after that.
MONDAY…
--- Lunch and Wince’s. Fish n
Brewis with the Uncle, Aunt and cousins.
--- Some wrapping and finishing up with gifts in the evening. A nice Christmas Eve.
TUESDAY…
--- Christmas Day. Big supper
at the house and a fine morning of gift opening and giving.
WEDNESDAY…
--- I don’t know where mom and dad get the energy. Boxing day with a crowd. Something between 20 and 30 people coming and
going and eating and drinking. By 8:30,
I’m ready for bed. But a nice time.
THURSDAY…
--- Day of walks. First out
with Wayne on the East Coast Trail by Quidi Vidi Gut…. Up the hill to the
coast… down by DFO building… and back to the car. About an hour and a half of it… really good
though.
--- Hang with Wayne a bit after with a cup of soup and his cat. Then, in the night, Get dropped at Sam’s
in-law’s place, we walk to the Duke of Duckworth. Sit, drink, and talk until almost 1:00
AM. Walk back to his place. Then, being suck a nice night, I keep on
walking home. About an hour and a half
from the bar to the house. With some crazy house along the way… at 2:00 AM…
with all the lights on and electronic Christmas music being played on outside
speakers!?!? Glad not to be that guy’s neighbour.
FRIDAY…
--- Lazy day in bad weather.
Watch junior hockey on TV and do laundry.
SATURDAY…
--- Lunch with Craig… And Feast of Cohen music at Arts and Culture
Centre at night… with Stogger Pizza for supper… the guy who used to own Venice…
good pizza.
SUNDAY…
--- Lunch at Wayne and Sylvia’s.
Lots of sea food. Movie with Del
after that. The Hobbit is solid… a good
time out.
MONDAY…
--- Movie afternoon with mom and dad. Les Miserables is quite good. I thought a half hour cut out of it would
have been nice but still, 8 of 10 in my books.
--- Riggs’ over for supper and cards and New Years.
TUESDAY…
--- Del comes by among a few other drop bys. Then to Wince’s for supper and cards. Lots of good food these last few days.
