Well you must be one of two things a) the die-hard fan who is still reading everything I post or b) the last minute catch up who remembered I'm home soon and thought you better have some semblance of awareness. For group (b): Dubai hot, Africa dusty, Greece friendly, Istanbul stalky, Italy arty, Barcelona party-y, Paris snobby, Dublin cold, London big, Toronto colder, Ottawa freezing, house got broke. Now you're all caught up.
I flew from Toronto to Virginia because Nelly's engagement party was on Saturday and I got to go, hurray! Nelly is Sharyn's daughter and Sharyn is Mum's friend from pre-Catie so Nelly was the big sister who taught me how to boss around your younger sibling and make them think it's a game. So I flew in Saturday morning and because my Canadian passport has expired I had to join the long line and now the US government has my picture and index fingerprints. Now when I commit my crime I'm limited to three fingers and a thumb, and may need to include a mask on the supply list (note to scanny spyware: this is a joke. I am not actually intending to commit a crime while in the USA. You should know this as I ticked the "no" box for that question. Also never a Nazi or infectiously diseased.)
I made it to Maryland and Washington D.C. while in the neighbourhood, just because, and had a lovely visit catching up with Nelly and Jay (the younger sibling who got bossed around with me) and am now near Boston visiting Sharyn and Jack before I head to New York to finish up being a tourist.
Canada was so great, I'm seriously considering the move to Toronto in the not-to-distant future. They have a ton of little papers and news magazines who could surely use some journalistic talent like me. Then I could regularly visit aunts, uncles, cousins etc. Downside is lack of parents and sister but you can't have everything and if I'm bossy enough Peggy might follow me! Peggy, it's called follow the leader - wanna play?
