| beer & decks Well, it has started. Cape Breton is all about relaxing, at least in my last decade's worth of experience. Last night, I ended up at a campfire at midnight (had been awake since 4am) and was offered a drink. "Rum or whiskey?" the husband of a cousin, the cousin who is the only person who I was introduced to who I actually recognized, asked me. Rum is bad for me so I asked for whiskey. But I forgot. I forgot what a drink in CB is. Not a finger or two but a tumbler full of rye whiskey with the rarest hint of ice. Do you understand that, a full tumbler of Canadian Club?!?! I was toasted by the time I was putting a second pile of wood on the fire. Stars. I forget they are there. Really, look up in the city and you might see a handfull. I saw thousands and that was after I stopped counting. Elsewhere it was pitch black, something I hadn't seen since the blackout. By half way through the glass I was pondering life in the universe. Now it's a day later and a backyard balcony with beer and steaks and baked potatoes and geeks talking about MSN on a phone and free laptops. Life is good. July 27 06 |

Your words, Toasty, are worth a thousand pictures. It sounds mind-numbingly lovely. Honest.

Free laptops? I guess I arrived too late for that part of conversation. :)

nope; took a flight from Toronto to Montreal to Sydney to eliminate the need for family to drive to Halifax to pick me up. BUT I am currently flying Sydney, Halifax to Toronto. Sooooo, i am currently seeking to try and fly out of Halifax skipping Sydney, spending monday or tuesday with my sister in that area and then, well if you would have me, drink some beer with The Count. What say you man? Send email to the gmail account, y'know thisboyistoast at that system. i will give you details and you will give me phone numbers.
