My Weekend

Friday: Made a frantic attempt to get everything done before leaving for Newfoundland. Results were mixed.

Saturday: Finished off the remaining tasks on my to-do list and went to pick up Janet. Arrived in TO around 4:00, parked the car at her aunt's place and headed to the airport. Took a look at said aunt's pet snakes. That's right, motherfucking snakes in motherfucking acquariums. Janet denied my polite request to bring one on the plane. Began our flight to St. John's, we began our decent...

Sunday: No, no there were no snakes on the plane, it's just as moments before we landed it became Sunday. Herb picked us up at the aiport and brought us to their place in Seal Cove, aka Conception Bay South. We chatted with Herb and his wife Michelle (Janet's friends) then went to bed.

On Sunday morning I managed to sleep in until 9:30 (8:00 EST) while their young kid made lots of noise (we were warned). Got up and had some pancakes, then took a drive into St. John's. Had some fish and chips with gravy and dressing (a stuffing like mixture that's mixed in with the chips).

Following lunch we took a trip around the Irish Loop, stopping at scenic points along the way. We saw a few caribou and Herb reckoned he could have caught us a cod if he'd had his rod with him. We returned here about 6:00 (4:30 EST) and BBQ'd some burgers for dinner. After dinner we watched War of the Worlds and then I decided to take their dial up internet for a test drive (so far, not too bad).

I'll let Janet email her family now and head to bed to read some of the Great American Novel.
